In the centre, a man in an orange robe and a purple shawl wears a long mala of yellow-orange flowers and a gold pendant; he has long swept-back hair and walks with hands folded. Around him, bare-chested men in white dhotis, one with a red-and-purple cloth and sacred thread, carry themselves with folded hands. Devotees in white and a woman in a light blue sari follow behind. Several figures have white tilak markings on their foreheads and chests.

In the centre, a man in orange-red robes with a long white jasmine garland, gold necklace, rudraksha mala and sandalwood forehead marks walks barefoot holding hands with an elderly sannyasi in saffron cloth and white garland.
