In the foreground a man in a dark red-brown robe and a tall black turban walks barefoot, with a small table draped in yellow and red cloth and a carved wooden seat to his left. Beside him stands a man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala, arms folded. Further right, men in white dhotis and white shirts, one bare-chested with a white sacred thread and beads, stand with hands folded in reverence. Several other men in orange and red garments stand behind, and a colourful shrine is visible at the far right. Appearance-based candidate for a person is the man in the dark red-brown robe and black turban, who appears to be the central figure being attended to during this site visit; the scene shows people with folded hands and devotees.
