In the foreground, a figure in an orange saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala bows forward while a woman in a red-and-gold sari with a gold necklace and a bun in her hair applies a mark with her hand and holds a metal plate. Behind them, several men in red-and-gold dhotis and rudraksha malas stand, one with white tilak markings on his forehead and arms.
