In the right foreground a man in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha mala stands with head bowed and hands held together, a wooden staff at his side. Another man in orange robes stands at the right edge, and a brass lamp rests on the platform. Marigold petals and coloured rangoli patterns decorate the ground.
