A bare-chested man in the foreground wears red-orange dhoti, a long rudraksha mala with a gold pendant, a bright sandal mark on his forehead, and white arm bands; he walks with his hands folded. Behind him, figures in white dhotis and orange and red robes follow, and a man holds a large red-orange umbrella over a central figure. Lush leaves frame the scene and a waterfall is visible in the mist.
