The central man has wavy dark hair, a white tilak mark on his forehead, and wears a white dhoti-style cloth with gold border, multiple rudraksha mala necklaces and a gold-edged shawl. Beside him on the left a man in white with a rudraksha mala and gold-bordered shawl smiles, and on the right a man with a gold-bordered white shawl and rudraksha mala looks toward the centre.
