In the foreground, two shaved-headed men in saffron-orange dhoti-style wraps and rudraksha malas sit before brass ritual vessels; the man at left, with white tilak on forehead and arms, claps with palms together while a book rests on his lap, and the man at right, wearing glasses and a red bindi, rests his hands in his lap. Behind them, many seated people in white and yellow clothing, and a figure in red robes, fill the room. Brass pots and a small tray of offerings sit on the floor mat.
