A kneeling elderly woman in a teal sari with gold stripes and a blue blouse bows low and touches the feet of a standing man in a rust-orange wrap with long dreadlocked hair, bare chest and sandals. Beside them a man in white dhoti with gold border and a white shirt, rudraksha mala beads, sandalwood-paste markings on his forehead and arms, and a small red bag, stands looking down while holding a phone. The scene shows a devotee performing a pranam-style gesture of reverence to a sannyasi-type figure.

On the left, an older man with glasses wears a white dhoti and shawl with gold and green borders and speaks while gesturing. On the right, a bare-chested man in a dark red-orange wrap and a tall black turban stands with his hands clasped, listening. Behind them, a woman in a red-orange sari holds an open blue book, and another man in orange stands nearby, with red temple structures in the background. The page presents this as a person giving instructions to sthapathis during temple construction, but the appearance of the turbaned man is not distinctive enough to confirm that identity, so the description uses roles only and the a person field is unsure.
