Around him, several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand listening; one holds a yellow folder, one wears a bead necklace, and a man in a white shirt on the right holds papers. A white-clothed standing man with long hair and an orange shawl watches nearby. On the small table are fruit, a water bottle, a small green box and a plate of packets.

A bald man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl stands beside the throne holding rolled papers.
