A long-haired man in an ivory and gold embroidered sherwani with a white shawl and white dhoti bordered in gold sits smiling in a wooden chair, with a small red bindi on his forehead and a clip-on microphone at his collar. Beside him a table holds ornate brass vessels, a brass kalasha and lamps, and a tall brass oil lamp stands at right. Several people in white garments and dark jackets stand around the seated figure, with a partially visible hand at lower left.
