The left panel shows a man with short dark hair, standing barefoot under a large banyan tree, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a rudraksha mala around his neck, and hands pressed together at his chest. The right panel shows a black stone statue of a multi-armed deity seated on a pedestal, wearing an orange turban and orange garment with rudraksha beads, set in a carved white arch against a blue curtain, with red offerings in the foreground. The collage is a graphic, so no physical people are counted beyond the visible man.
