Around the tray, sannyasis in orange robes with rudraksha malas and white forehead markings sit or kneel; one on the right sits in an orange top. A deity murti is not visible. Ritual offerings with flowers suggest a puja or darshan setting. Foreground heads are partially visible at the bottom edge.
