On the far right, a smiling man in a rust-red turban and orange-red draped garment with a heavy gold-bead necklace and a brown rudraksha-style mala stands beside a younger man in a white dhoti and cream shawl with gold garlands. In the centre, a bearded sadhu in orange robes and an orange head wrap with a red rudraksha mala speaks, while a woman in a blue and yellow patterned sari with a blue head covering stands at left. An older bald man in orange robes with a white beard is at far left. Several other people in orange and white clothes are in the background. The person in the rust-red turban shows distinctive ornate adornments, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
