Two men stand close together: the man on the right wears an orange turban, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklaces, a red and gold shawl draped over the shoulder and bare chest, and a bracelet, and holds a small ceremonial rod; the man on the left wears a cream turban, a red garment and layered silver-toned necklaces. A dark red curtain forms the backdrop. Appearance-based cues on the right figure are distinctive (orange turban, rudraksha, ornate gold necklaces), so a probable identification is noted by role as a presiding figure in a temple-style ceremony.2015-04-30
