A ceremonial reception in a hall decorated with marigold and white flower garlands. A man in a saffron-orange robe and red turban stands at left, and a bald man in an orange robe bows low over a red-cushioned seat, while men in white dhotis and shirts bend forward to touch or offer to him. A bald man in orange stands center with his hands together. A banner behind shows painted deities and a Kannada-language heading, and a framed portrait of a saint in orange hangs at top right. The orange-robed bowing figure is a person by appearance: saffron clothing and a central honoured position, though the face and build are not clearly distinctive. Several white-clad devotees and a man in a striped shirt crouch near the seat.
