The man in front wears a grey kurta, white dhoti and orange shawl, with a rudraksha-style mala visible at his neck. Beside him, a man in white kurta and maroon lungi and others in orange shawls and white clothing sit in a row, several touching food with their right hands. A water bottle sits on the floor. Behind them, a gilded throne area with red and gold decor and a seated woman in white is blurred in the background. No one is identified as a person.
