The foreground man on the left wears a grey and black zip jacket with red-striped track trousers and is barefoot; the men beside him wear white kurtas and white dhotis, with ropes of beads around their necks. Behind them, people in white clothing sit or stand near a red-brick platform, a dark deity murti with a tall ceremonial pillar, coconut palms and garlands hanging nearby. Several people sit in a rear row on mats. Including all visible people, the count is roughly twenty.
