A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with long dark swept-back hair and a gold ornamental necklace sits on an ornate gold-framed throne with red cushioned upholstery, raising one hand toward a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who offers a framed photograph or plaque. The man wears a rudraksha mala and bracelets and smiles. Around them stand several people: an older man in white, a woman in a cream sari with maroon border, a young girl with a braid, and a woman in a white and orange sari holding a framed item.
