In the centre, a figure in a reddish-orange robe wears a large red and green flower garland and a gold necklace, with a rudraksha mala visible on the second figure beside him. Beside him, a bare-chested figure in a red-orange cloth wears a dark rudraksha mala and a gold chain and a headband. Men in white shirts and white dhotis surround them, one smiling broadly on the left. The people are part of a temple visit crowd.
