Nearby, a woman in a cream sari with a rudraksha mala stands beside her, and a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and sandalwood markings on his forehead stands to the left. Several men in shirts, some with vermilion or sandal markings, crowd around, and a woman in a red top and glasses is at the lower right.
