A barefoot man in orange-saffron robes with a gold-trimmed waist cloth walks through a stone doorway with a wooden door panel, on a brick-paved floor. He wears long swept-back dark hair, white sandalwood marks on his arms and forehead, a red-orange and silver bead necklace, and multiple rudraksha-style malas, with a kumkum mark on his forehead. Behind him, three men in orange dhotis with maroon borders follow, one with a rudraksha mala. A man at right in a green head covering and gold-beaded mala holds an orange cloth bundle.
