The central figure wears a dark turban crowned with pink flowers, a thick red-and-white flower garland, and layered gold necklaces, with a red tilak on his forehead and gold armbands. The man to his right wears a striped sacred thread and rudraksha beads, and the man on the far right holds a rust towel and wears a long bead necklace and rudraksha mala. Others in orange robes and rudraksha malas stand behind, and a gold-bordered white cloth is visible at the right edge. Full rudraksha malas and layered gold ornaments are clearly visible on several men.
