A man in the centre wears a rust-orange dhoti and a large garland of red and yellow flowers over his shoulder, with a beaded necklace, and gestures with his hand as he walks forward. Beside him, a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and a bare-chested man with a rudraksha-style necklace follow. On the left, a man with long hair wears a white dhoti with gold border and a rudraksha mala, standing in attention. On the right, a seated person in white ritual cloth with gold border and a gold necklace sits on a cushioned seat holding a book, with a microphone stand before them. Several people in white and saffron stand at the left edge. Roles here are priests and devotees; no clear identity is established from appearance.
