In the centre, a man with a black turban and a red-and-white garland of flowers, wearing a rust-coloured wrap, gold-toned chains and a gold ornament, stands with his hands clasped at his waist. Beside him, a bearded man with a tied-up topknot, red tilak, glasses, a rudraksha mala and a rust-coloured cloth stands bare-chested with a hand over his heart. On the right, a bearded man with a bun wears a bare chest, layered rudraksha malas, a brown shawl and a white dhoti with a yellow border. On the left edge, a figure in orange cloth with his back to the camera, and other devotees with wrapped hair and rudraksha bracelets, are visible. Roughly four to six people are in view.

The central figure wears a red-and-white flower garland across his chest, gold bangles on his wrist, and a red cloth at his waist, and holds his arm out while a man beside him carries a green plant in a decorated pot. A man at right wears a saffron-yellow and white shawl with a rudraksha bead necklace. Background figures in ordinary clothes watch from a temple courtyard with a tiled roof. The shawl and bead cues are not enough to establish a person's presence, so the identity is unsure.2018-05-08
