Beside him a man in an orange shirt with a white cloth band on his forehead faces him, while a man in a light grey shirt with glasses presses his palms together in greeting. Other devotees, including a woman in a pale sari, stand nearby. Whether the orange-turbaned man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described by role only.
