The figure on the left is an older, bare-shouldered man with a shaved head, a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, his right hand raised near his chest. The figure on the right has long dark swept-back hair, a gold bead necklace over an orange shawl, and rests one hand on his knee. Parked vehicles and a white building appear in the background.
