Two saffron-robed figures stand together in a temple shrine beside a carved white arch with warm lighting. The younger man on the left wears an orange robe, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, holds a silver tray with offerings and raises his hands in greeting. The older person beside him, with shaved head, red tilak and orange robe with gold border, also raises a hand. A woman in a cream sari with green border stands at right near brass oil lamps (deepa) and a brass kalasha-style lamp stand, with a wall clock above. The page does not establish the person's identity from appearance, so no identification is made here. Two physical people are visible.
