A central man with long dark hair, in an orange-saffron dhoti and a gold necklace, stands with hands pressed in namaste while wearing a thick garland of red, yellow and white flowers; the appearance is a person candidate based on the long hair, ornate gold necklace and garland, but this is uncertain. Around him, saffron-clad men wear rudraksha malas, one holds a small orange object, and white-clad devotees in dhotis and shirts surround the group. A man at left in white with a rudraksha mala holds a mobile phone. Roughly 15 people are visible in the crowd.
