Several saffron-robed monks stand in the foreground, including a bald monk in the centre and a monk with long hair in the middle, one holding a small booklet. An older man in a white shirt stands among them. Behind a barrier of dark-suited men, a pink cloth canopy shelters men in white dhotis and shirts. A large banner with Kannada script and a portrait partly visible on the left reads 'Jai Gurudev'. Sprays of flowers sit at the lower left. Bald and long-haired monks, whether any figure is a particular person is not established by the visible evidence, so no identity is given.
