Two men in saffron-orange robes stand in a doorway of a temple, both wearing white and red flower garlands and gold ornaments. The man on the left, with a shaved head and a white and red tilak on his forehead, raises his right hand in a blessing gesture and wears a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant. The man on the right, with swept-back hair, a crown of gold flowers and a heavy gold necklace, smiles and holds his hands together in front of his chest. Behind them a brightly lit shrine area shows a gold kalasha and ceremonial brass items, and a priest in white stands at the side.
