Between them sits a wooden tray with oranges, a yellow fruit, red chilies, and a small red-brown cloth. Around them are potted green plants, rocks, and a grass mat, with a small golden deity murti at the upper right. Behind them, a standing man in a white shirt holds a camera on a tripod, and other men in white shirts and saffron robes stand in the background near a white wall and an air conditioner.
