A seated figure on the left wears an orange-red turban, orange and yellow robes, layered gold and beaded necklaces, and bracelets; he smiles and extends his hands to receive an offering. Another kneeling man in orange and yellow with a rudraksha mala and a shaved head sits in the centre, watching. On the right, a man in white with yellow tilak and a rudraksha mala leans forward to hand over a small object.
