Most are bare-chested, wearing white dhotis with yellow borders and white thread necklaces; one front-centre man has a red-and-white tilak mark and a rudraksha-style mala. A man in the middle back wears a white shawl and a sleeveless white top, and a pale-haired Western man sits to the right. Wooden poles and yellow-painted structures stand behind them against a grey, cloudy sky.
