A man in an orange-brown saffron robe with a thick gold necklace and gold earrings, holding a small white book, smiles while extending his right palm toward the face of a man in a khaki shirt who has his hands folded in greeting. Beside them, another robed attendant in saffron stands, and a shaved-headed man in an orange-brown dhoti and a white-shirted man stand nearby. Behind them, a row of people in white and blue clothing and a woman in a blue top stand in the background, and a decorated golden deity murti and red drapes are visible at the far end.
