A man in an orange robe with a yellow flower garland and rudraksha beads, with shaved-looking dark hair and a broad smile, stands at the centre; the cues here are an orange robe, garland and beads, and a presentation that is compatible with the page's reference to a person, but the face and appearance are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described only by role as a sannyasi-garbed devotee. Around him, men in white dhotis with gold chains and tilak stand holding a silver tray of red fruit and offerings, and a man in white with an orange shawl stands at right. Several women in white saris with yellow borders stand in the background, and a loudspeaker is mounted on the roof.

A woman in an orange sari with a red border stands at the right edge.
