Two saffron-robed religious figures stand and sit beside a tall polished gold staff with a finial, in a stone-walled hall with a red-orange flag on a pole behind them. The standing man on the left wears an orange dhoti and shawl with gold trim, long gold-bead malas and a red bindi with white vibhuti marks, smiling as he grips the staff. The seated elder on the right is bare-chested with a white-and-red forehead mark, gold and rudraksha-style malas, bangles and a gold headpiece, and holds the staff with one hand. A silver bowl with white paste and a small red offering sit on a tray before them. The flag shows a white bull emblem. Several people in white clothes stand in the background.
