A smiling man with long dark hair, wearing an orange turban, an orange shawl and white flower garlands with a red-and-white floral necklace, sits on a white-draped chair beside a golden trident. Another man in a white shirt bends forward with his head near the seated man's feet, and a third man in white with an orange headband sits in the foreground. Behind them, men in orange saffron robes stand, one with a beard and wearing gold bracelets holding a phone, and another holding papers.
