A long-haired man in an orange dhoti and a leopard-print shawl, with a gold ceremonial necklace, stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, appearing to be the Swamiji (probable), with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold necklace. Beside him a bald man in white dhoti and shawl with a bare chest and rudraksha-style beaded necklace holds a long wooden pole. Behind them a devotee in white with an orange cloth bows down on the ground, and a woman in a pink sari with folded hands and other figures stand in the dim background. A signboard and decorative hanging cloth bands appear at the top right.
