Two men sit bare-chested in a devotional rite at a temple, one with palms pressed together in namaskar and eyes lowered. Both wear simple reddish-brown cords around their necks. Black linga-shaped stone forms and brass vessels with spouts stand on red steps in the foreground. A third person in a tan garment sits partly visible at the upper right with hands folded in prayer. No candidate's appearance meets the criteria for a person; the figures are devotees.
