A man in red-and-gold saffron-toned dress with a red and gold crown or headpiece, layered rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and heavy gold ornaments stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, holding a silver ceremonial parasol with a crescent emblem. Behind him a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and a yellow-bordered shawl stands with hands joined, and a third man in orange robes holds a silver vessel. Palm trees and foliage fill the background as dusk falls.
