On the left, a long-haired man in an orange sleeveless robe with a red shawl bordered in gold smiles as he holds out cupped hands containing red powder. On the right, an elderly white-bearded man with glasses and a bun wears a yellow silk shawl and a rudraksha mala, reaching his hands toward the offering. A white plastic chair and a blue bag sit at the lower edge. The left man shows distinctive long swept hair, orange robe and red shawl, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to name him as a person, so he is described only by role and the probable label is withheld.
