Around them, standing devotees in white dhoti and kurta, one in an orange shawl with a rudraksha mala, and a man in a yellow shawl watch.

A figure seated at the right in the foreground wears a yellow shawl and white clothing, with long dark hair, and a tall dark-haired figure in an orange robe stands at the far right.
