Around him, several men wear saffron or orange robes with rudraksha malas, one in a white kurta with rudraksha beads, and a woman in a cream sari stands behind. Another man in a white kurta with rudraksha mala is at the right edge. A carved stone pillar and a metal rod are visible in the background.
