On the left, a man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bead necklace holds a silver kalasha topped with green leaves, a corn cob and a purple flower, and gestures toward the right. Facing him on the right, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a red-and-gold sari-style garment, a long rudraksha mala and a gold necklace with a pendant, and a red tilak on his forehead; he holds his hands out in conversation.
