Around him stand several men in white shirts and striped shirts, and a bald man with a white forehead marking and a saffron shawl. Behind them are more saffron-clad people, a red-draped stage area, a projection screen, a hanging yellow cloth and a colourful striped pillar with tassels. Several people are visible in the background.

Other people in white and orange clothing stand around, including a woman in white with flower garlands of orange marigolds at lower left, a woman in a green patterned sari with hands pressed together in greeting, and a man in a pale pink shirt in the background.
