A man in a saffron-orange robe with a bare, bearded face and a wristwatch stands in the foreground, hands clasped, facing a group of women on the left in white and grey saris who press their palms together in greeting. Behind him, a figure in an orange robe with a red-and-gold garland walks under a multicoloured canopy umbrella, flanked by men in white dhotis and shirts. A white-clad elder in a gold chain stands in the centre, and a man in a green shirt and white dhoti on the right also has his hands folded. Cars are parked along the roadside.
