Two men in saffron-orange robes stand and sit beside a tall gold-plated staff with a finial, held between them in a temple-like hall. The standing man on the left wears a gold bead necklace and a white tilak with red bindi, smiling as he grips the staff. The seated elder on the right, bare-shouldered and with white ash marks and rudraksha beads on his neck, rests his hand on the staff. On a metal tray before them sit a small silver cup, a silver bowl and a red cloth. Behind them hangs an orange flag bearing a white bull figure, beside a gold-embossed chair. A printed copyright caption runs down the right edge.
