On the left, a smiling woman with a red bindi wears a rust-orange sari-style wrap and a long rudraksha-style bead necklace. Next to her, a shaved-headed man in orange wears a rudraksha mala. In the centre, a younger man in brown-orange robes with gold borders and a gold-trimmed shawl holds a folded orange cloth in both hands. To the right, a bespectacled man with a shaved head wears an orange shawl and beads.
