Two people stand in front of a deep pink draped curtain, both with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Both wear orange-saffron wraps and dhoti-style cloth with golden edging, rudraksha and bead malas, and orange turbans. Their bare upper bodies show white body markings. The left figure wears a wide white-and-orange headband; the right figure wears a white-edged necklace. Neither is clearly identifiable as a person, so no appearance-based candidate is claimed.
