Several monastic-looking figures in saffron and orange robes lead, including a central man in a bright orange robe with a red-orange garment, a large red-beaded necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, and a second saffron-robed figure behind him wearing an orange shawl with a garland. A woman in a dark maroon sari with blue border stands at left. Others in yellow and white dress follow behind on the steps. Shoes are scattered on the floor. Above the doorway hangs a garland of marigolds and a painted deity image. The person's identity is not visually confirmable from appearance alone.
