The man on the right wears an orange turban, a multicoloured flower garland with pink, white, red and green blooms, and a long rudraksha mala. He smiles while receiving the offering. The older man on the left wears a plaid button-up shirt and holds the lamp; the woman beside him wears a blue sari with gold-toned thread and a small red bindi, and has bangles on her wrist. Sunlight falls through a window behind them, and a string of flowers hangs at the doorway.
