Two men stand together in a stone-walled interior with carved relief panels on the left wall. The man on the left wears a long flowing orange-saffron robe draped over his shoulder, a long rudraksha mala hanging to his waist, and a red bindi on his forehead; he holds the beads in one hand and looks toward the camera. The man on the right wears a white kurta with a golden-yellow shawl draped over his shoulders and is turned toward the first man, appearing to speak with him.

Other visitors include a man in white with a camera, a woman in a yellow top, a woman in a pink shirt holding a bottle, and an older man in white with a beaded necklace. A wooden bin stands at left.

A man in orange-saffron robes with a bare upper body and a swept-back bun stands at right, gesturing toward the wall, wearing long rudraksha malas.

His hands rest folded in his lap and his bare feet rest on an orange cushioned footstool with a brown mat. Behind him are carved grey stone pillars and a red and white wall, with a brass plate of offerings at the left edge.

He rests one hand on his hip and holds a long dark wooden staff, standing on grass with banana plants and bamboo behind him.

Beside him, a bald man in a saffron garment with a gold chain and tilak marks sits and looks upward. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and white upper cloth with white markings on his arms sits on the steps near a stone doorway.

To the left, a man in white kurta and white trousers holds a folded orange umbrella and wears a rudraksha mala and a red bindi. At the right edge, a bearded man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and eyeglasses stands partly cropped. The figure in the centre has long swept-back hair and wears a rudraksha mala with ornate clothing, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to establish identity from these cues alone.2009-11-30
