Beside him a bald man in saffron robes and orange rudraksha beads stands near a man in a white shirt and white dhoti. Many men in white shirts and dhotis fill the foreground, with a yellow building and blue shutters behind. The scene reads as a street darshan with devotees crowding around a saffron-clad figure.
