Behind them, people in white clothes stand near the gold ornate backdrop, and a woman in red is visible at the right edge. The woman seated on the left wears a red turban, rudraksha malas around her neck and arm, and a red shawl with dark printed patterns, and her posture suggests she is receiving devotees. Red-toned stage lighting colours the scene.
