Outdoor street scene with several men in saffron-orange robes and gold beaded garlands, a shaved-head priest at right holding a folded paper, and a central figure with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, gold bangles and a long gold beaded necklace, raising one hand to his face while looking upward. Behind them stand men in white dhotis and a white van, with a blue temple dome and roadside signboards in the background.
