Behind him a standing man in white dhoti and white shawl with folded hands stands near the railing, and to the right three men stand barefoot, one in white dhoti with a shawl, one in orange, and one in a dark jacket. Red-and-white striped railings and an orange wall are visible beyond, with trees outside.
