A bare foot with a red thread tied around the ankle is pressed into the powder. A thin yellow stick lies in the powder. Only the lower leg and foot of one person are visible, plus another bare foot at the left edge, and a hand at the upper right. The setting appears to be a temple or ashram floor with a rusty-looking stone surface. No a person candidate is visible.
