A man in an orange saffron robe with a long gold-and-beaded necklace and a sannyasi's look holds a silver tray of fruit, coconut and offerings toward devotees, while a long-haired figure in an orange garment and gold-bead necklace reaches out to take an offering. Around them devotees in white shirts and white dhotis, some with orange or yellow shawls and rudraksha malas, press close, and a woman in white sari stands at right.
