Behind them, a row of seated men in white dhoti-style clothes with yellow shawls sits on the ground near a red ritual structure and a small fire with smoke rising. A tall red column with a golden top stands in the background beside palm trees, and a black stone figure of a bull rests nearby. A red raised platform draped with a yellow and red garland is at the left, with an orange-robed person standing near the seated group.
