A long-haired person in an orange-red garment and a garland of green fruits sits on the floor at lower right, appearing to be a sannyasi; the appearance cues are a long swept-back hairstyle and an orange garment, but these are not sufficient to confirm identity, so this is a sannyasi/guest role. Around him, a man in white shirt and dark rudraksha-style mala gestures while speaking.
