A bare-chested man in white dhoti and cloth belt walks in front carrying a long brass ceremonial staff topped with a curved finial. Behind him, several figures in saffron-orange robes carry ornate umbrellas with yellow, red, blue and white fringed canopies, and one carries a brass tray of offerings.

A man in the centre wears an orange saffron robe and a long white flower garland, with long dark hair swept back, and holds his hands together in front of his chest; he is a probable Swamiji by swept-back long hair, saffron robe and garland, though appearance is only partly clear. Around him, several men in orange and saffron robes carry a golden trident and a tall ceremonial staff.
