A man in a saffron wrap and orange turban on the left walks beside an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti. Two monks in orange robes and sandals walk in the centre, one bald with a saffron garment, and a monk in saffron behind them. On the right, a person in a deep red-orange robe with yellow borders, wearing a long rudraksha mala, gestures toward the stone pieces with an outstretched hand. Piled stone debris and a metal container lie in the background.
