Behind it, a large cut-out or printed portrait shows a smiling bearded man in an orange turban, orange robe, pearl and gold beaded necklaces and gold bracelets, with one hand raised in blessing. To the right, a smaller framed photo shows a smiling man in a red turban with gold necklaces. Orange roses in a glass vase and loose orange petals decorate the red-and-gold cloth in the foreground. The portrait is a depiction, not a physical person, so no one is physically present.
