The man on the left has a red-and-gold beaded headband, red and white beaded malas, a silver pendant and a gold bracelet, and presses his palms together. The bald man in the centre has a red beaded headband, white vibhuti stripes, a dark rudraksha mala, a large gold pendant, a gold bangle and folded hands, and is bare-chested with an orange-and-gold shawl.
