Both wear white dhoti-style cloth with yellow-gold borders and long brown rudraksha mala necklaces, with bracelets and red bindis. The man on the left has grey swept-back hair and glasses and his hands are folded in his lap; the man on the right wears glasses, a red bindi and a thick rudraksha mala, with hands clasped. Behind them rows of devotees in orange, saffron and blue sit on mats within a stanchion-lined hall. The men are seated in a meditative posture with a steady, composed expression.
