On the left, an elderly bearded man with glasses and grey hair wears an orange shawl over a pink robe and sits in a chair beside a black equipment case, holding a wooden tray of fruit that includes a pineapple. On the right, a smiling man with long swept-back hair, a tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala necklace and a rust-coloured dhoti and shawl stands holding the other side of the tray. A framed painting of deities hangs on the left wall, a poster of a temple tower on the right, and a violin-like instrument rests on the case.
