A long-haired figure with a bare chest and long beard, wearing a red undergarment, orange cloth and a white shawl, sits cross-legged at left, appearing to be the seated person being honoured, with distinctive long hair and beard as cues; the appearance is. Beside him an orange-robed young man in a kneeling position hands papers. A woman in a white sari with gold border and a man in white dhoti and shirt stand at right, the woman with palms joined and the man with hand at chest, while a row of white-clad devotees, some with orange shawls and tilaka, stand along the wall behind. A low orange cloth and a brass tray are visible in front.
