In the centre a man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, gazing up with his hands folded near his chest. Beside him a man in white holds a small object, and a man with a grey-streaked head wears a white shirt and an orange-brown shoulder bag. Women in colourful saris and salwar, including one in a blue sari with yellow trim, stand among them. Stone pillars and a tiled walkway frame the scene, with a long causeway leading toward the temple.
