Three figures in saffron and orange robes sit to the right: the central one has a shaved head and orange robe, the next wears an orange turban-like head covering and orange clothing, and the far-right figure has a long beard and saffron robe. A red carpet and yellow drapes frame the stage, and a backdrop with a deity image and a banner in Kannada script lies behind them. a person cues are not sufficiently distinctive here, so the saffron-robed seated figures are described by role only.
