Behind them, another saffron-robed young monastic with a shaved head and rudraksha beads holds a camera. On the left, a seated man in a white shirt wears a flower garland of pink, white and orange blossoms and kneels toward the seated figure, with a woman in a yellow sari and an older man in white also garlanded.
