Beside him a shaved-headed attendant in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands by. Table items include a fruit basket with apples and oranges, small framed pictures, rudraksha malas and brass lamps.

The long-haired central figure has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing with a visible shawl and mala, but the appearance is uncertain.
