Three men in saffron and orange clothing walk together indoors past a table of offerings and a small placard. The man on the left wears an orange turban and a long beard, with an orange shawl over his shoulders. In the centre, a man in a yellow-orange cap, wire-rimmed glasses and a rudraksha mala walks beside him. On the right, a bare-chested man with swept-back hair, a yellow tilak on his forehead and a gold ceremonial necklace gestures with his hand while smiling, wearing an orange dhoti. Behind them stand other people and display cases. Whether the right-hand figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so he is described by role only.
