Two men in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stand before a golden shrine niche with arched pillars and a row of amber lights. The man on the left, bare-shouldered with a rudraksha mala and an armband of beads, and a red mark on his forehead, stands with hands folded. The man in the centre, bare-backed and bent forward, is offering a white flower garland at a small gilded shrine holding a deity murti, with brass lamps, kalasha-style vessels and a plate of flowers in front.
