Behind them, a woman in orange and a woman in a white sari with red blouse stand near a red curtain, and a seated man in an orange shawl is visible at the right edge. Rudraksha malas are worn across the man's chest and arms. The setting appears to be an indoor ritual hall with a warm light fixture at upper right.
