The man on the left, bare-chested with a saffron wrap and a tilak across his forehead, raises one hand in a blessing wave and wears a white flower garland and a rudraksha mala. The man on the right wears a gold crown, a gold chest ornament and a rudraksha mala, a white and red flower garland, and gold bangles; he smiles and gestures with both hands upward. A small devotional figure and flowers sit on the altar behind them.
