A large crowd of devotees in white clothes with orange saffron shawls fills the foreground, many with hands pressed together or reaching toward a raised white circular platform. On the platform stands a figure in an ornate cream-and-gold striped garment with a wine-red shawl and a tan turban, with long dark hair falling behind. Behind them is a wall decorated with a large circular mandala-like arrangement of flowers in yellow, red, white and blue, with scattered red blossoms. Two portable air coolers stand at the left edge near the crowd.
