On the right, a man with long swept-back hair, a bare upper body wearing an orange-red dhoti-style wrap and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala, with bangles on his arms, smiles while receiving a folded paper from a man in a green shirt. Three men on the left stand with palms pressed together in anjali, wearing white shirts and red-orange shawls.
