A man with long swept-back dark hair wears a red-orange shawl over a red garment, a gold pendant necklace, rudraksha mala beads and a gold armband, and he holds a folded white paper while looking down at it. Beside him a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe and rudraksha mala holds a silver tray of offerings. Around them a line of women and girls in saris and salwar, including a woman in a green sari with gold bangles and a woman in glasses, look on attentively. A man in white ritual clothes and gold necklaces stands at the right edge. The long-haired man in red has distinctive adornments and swept-back hair, but the appearance is uncertain, so the candidate is labelled as unsure.
