The man on the left is bare-chested, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, a red-orange sheet draped at his waist, and a red-orange tilak on his forehead. The man on the right wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a long gold-and-flower garland, a rudraksha mala, and beaded bracelets, and smiles toward the camera. A third person in white dhoti stands at the far right edge, hands folded in greeting. A red-orange flag with an emblem hangs at upper left, and a shrine niche with a white arch is behind them. Whether either man is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone.
