He wears a white forehead tilak. Seated around him on yellow cloths are people in white clothes and rudraksha-style malas, some holding brass lamps and ritual vessels; one seated figure in a yellow-and-white shawl lights an oil lamp on the left. A crowd of standing onlookers, many in white and checked lungis, fills the background beside a heap of stones and street shops with lit signs.
