Four people attend them: a bare-chested man in a green turban and gold armband pours from a vessel, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a purple shawl holds a ritual item, a man in a purple-and-gold sari-style garment holds a brass tray, and a bare-backed priest in a dhoti and purple sash stands at left. Gold ornamental arches frame the scene.
