The man on the left wears an orange-saffron kurta and stands with palms pressed together in prayer, facing the tree. The man on the right wears a white shirt and light lavender-white dhoti, bowing forward with one hand pressed against the tree trunk and his head resting near it. A garland of yellow and pink flowers hangs on the trunk to the right. Dry earth and greenery surround the platform.
