They wear a white vibhuti line on the forehead, a white and pink flower garland, and gold rings. Behind them, a pink-robed figure stands in a bamboo-walled pandal beside an orange-covered altar, and a few devotees in white and orange sit in the background. A brass bowl sits on the floor in the lower right and a camera is partly visible at the edge.
