A seated figure in a white turban and white cloth with gold-bordered edges, long dark hair, reaches forward to place a hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt with palms pressed together in namaste. Beside them, a man in a white shirt with a red-and-gold sash kneels with folded hands, and another man in white stands watching. On the left, a man in white kneels with hands raised in greeting.
