The man on the left wears a red turban, red-and-gold robes, a large gold pendant on a thick beaded necklace and a bangle, and gestures with one raised hand while smiling. The man on the right has a long white beard, wears saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, sits with hands folded and eyes closed. Both sit on leopard-print cushioned seats on a patterned rug. Garlands hang near the deity, and tall brass lamps flank the dais.
