On the left, an older man in a tan kurta with a rudraksha mala and wire-rimmed glasses holds a small silver item. Beside him, a bald man with a trimmed beard wears a white kurta with a white shawl and a rudraksha mala, a wristwatch visible.

Behind them are white drapes and a red cloth. No one is identified as a person in this image.
