Indoor ritual scene in a hall with wooden-panelled walls and a colourful decorated pillar in the background. A seated man with long dark hair in a braid, a flowing saffron-orange robe and a white beard receives attention from a standing priest in a maroon turban and maroon dhoti with gold armbands and a beaded rudraksha mala, who holds a small object near the seated man's head. A younger man in orange kneels in the foreground with a yellow tilak on his forehead. Other orange-robed sadhus sit and stand behind them, and a red-draped armchair sits to the right. The seated figure has distinctive long braided hair and orange robes, a person candidate in an appearance-based sense.
