A bare-chested, white-bearded man on the right wears a blue and gold wrap, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold pendant and a sandalwood-and-vibhuti forehead mark, and holds a folded cloth. Beside him, an older man with swept-back grey hair in a saffron-orange robe holds a rudraksha mala at his chest. A man in a striped shirt and a young boy in a maroon shirt stand nearby, and a partly visible figure in orange at the far left.
