Three men sit in a row before a red-orange wall during a puja. The central man, eyes closed, wears a saffron-orange robe and has white tripundra lines and a red bindi on his forehead. On the left, a bespectacled man in white dhoti and shawl with maroon borders, wearing gold beaded necklaces and white ash markings on his forehead and arms, looks down. On the right, another man in a white dhoti with maroon borders and gold beaded necklace, with a red mark and white lines on his forehead, sits close behind the central figure. No figure in the frame has distinctive a person cues such as long hair, crown, rudraksha mala or ceremonial gold necklace beyond the ordinary gold beads worn by the priests, so identity is uncertain.
