A man in an orange-red turban and brown-gold garment, wearing a pink flower garland, rudraksha-style beaded necklace and a gold chain, holds up a long orange cloth draped over the head of a bowing man with long grey hair and beard in orange robes. Behind them, a man in orange with glasses and a turban stands; at left a seated man in orange with a white garland smiles; at right a white-garlanded man sits beside a tall white and orange flower garland hanging on a pillar.
