Behind him at left, a man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded, and a person in white holds a camera near the statues. A red curtain and a grey drape form the backdrop, with a black equipment case in the foreground. Some of the wrap and sunlit body are lit warmly.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits eyes closed on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands clasped in his lap. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt, seen from behind with his shorter hair, raises a lit camphor flame toward him in aarti, while silver lamps and offering plates with flower petals sit below.
