On the right, a smiling man with swept-back dark hair, an orange-saffron shawl over his shoulders, and a long necklace of red and gold beads plus a gold-toned chain, is placing his hand on the head of a seated devotee in glasses and a white shirt. Several other men in white shirts stand to the left with hands folded in namaste, faces turned toward the scene. The gold beads, red garland and saffron cloth are the most prominent colours.
