The man on the right has long swept-back dark hair, a green, yellow and pink floral garland with a gold necklace, a yellow shawl, and holds a long golden staff. The man on the left, with grey beard and spectacles, wears a saffron robe, gold beaded necklace and wristwatch. Behind them, several men in white and bare-chested devotees stand near a green cloth and a cart, with orange-clad figures at the edges.
