Beside him, a man with long matted dreadlocks wears a white dhoti with a gold border and a rudraksha mala. Gilded bull statues sit on the left foreground. Behind them, a shrine holds a painted deity murti with a red backdrop. Around the edges, young people in orange robes and rudraksha necklaces stand with palms joined in anjali.
