In the foreground a long-haired figure with dreadlocks, seen from behind and bare-shouldered, faces a silver tray or plate. Behind them a seated man in an orange-red cloth sits on a chair. Standing around are several men in white dhotis and shirts; one in a white dhoti with gold border wears a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, smiling and clasping hands. Another white-clad man with a sacred marking on his forehead gestures in greeting, and an older man with white hair and rudraksha beads stands at the back. Fans and a few framed images are visible.
