On the left, an older man with grey hair and a white-marked forehead wears a bright orange shawl and a dark rudraksha mala, pouring from his hands over a silver bowl of white liquid, possibly milk, floating flower petals. On the right, a younger man in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl, with a heavy gold beaded necklace and bare upper body marked with white ash, pours from a small white vessel. Behind them, a third person in a brown garment sits partly visible. Small fruits and a glass of yellow liquid sit at the front.
