A man in an orange-red turban with a crescent moon ornament, layered rudraksha malas and a white-and-pink flower garland stands at right, smiling and placing his right hand on the forehead of a shaved-headed man seated at left, who wears a rudraksha mala, white ritual cloth and a white line marking on his face while holding his palms together. Behind them a younger man in a white garment with a red forehead mark stands near a tall silver trident. A large brass elephant-shaped vessel with a spout sits in front.
