A seated man in an orange-red saffron-toned robe with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a brown wrap across his lap smiles while mixing yellow rice in a large silver bowl. Beside him a man in a white shirt and white trousers with a red-and-orange shawl kneels and scoops rice with his hands. Women in cream saris with red shawls stand behind, one wearing white gloves and carrying food trays. Banana leaves, bowls of food and steel pots sit on a blue cloth. The seated man has distinctive long hair and rudraksha adornments, a person candidate, though uncertain.
