A man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a heavy gold bead necklace, leans forward smiling and hands money to a small boy in a white shirt with a red collar. Behind him a woman in white with glasses and a white shawl smiles, and a woman in a light-blue sari stands at left. Other devotees in white and maroon attire, and a colourful banner with elephant motifs, appear in the background among trees. Whether the man in orange is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
