On the left, a bearded man with long dark hair wears a rose-orange silk shawl and holds his hands together. On the right, a smiling man with hair tied back wears a rudraksha mala necklace, an orange shawl over his shoulder and an orange-and-gold striped dhoti. Yellow flowers sit in a terracotta pot, a brass plate stands on a patterned rug, and gold-painted pillars frame the shrine. The bearded man on the left is an appearance-based candidate for a person, though his face and features are uncertain.
