Both wear orange-saffron dhoti-style cloth with gold borders and are bare-chested with rudraksha malas and armbands. The man on the left holds a brass kalasha-like vessel wrapped in red cloth and decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands. The man on the right holds a tray of flowers and a folded orange shawl with gold edging. Red flags and oleander bushes with pink flowers frame the scene, and a chain-link fence stands to the left.
