A seated man with long dreadlocks, bare-chested except for a rust-red shawl, gold chain and red wrist thread, faces a woman in a black headscarf and white top with an orange-trimmed shawl and rudraksha mala. He holds his palms together, and she holds a sheet of paper while raising her hands in greeting. A brass oil lamp and a golden deity murti sit in front of them. Behind, women in white with rudraksha malas and one in orange stand watching. The man is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person by his dreadlocks, shawl and gold chain, though he is seated among devotees.
