The man on the left has long dark wavy hair, a white tilak on his forehead with a red dot, a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant, and a white kurta with a dark patterned shawl.

Behind them stand colourful deity murtis with garlands, brass pots and oil lamps on a side table, and an orange flag on the wall. Fruit sits in the lower foreground.
