A seated figure in an orange-saffron garment with a long, loose-flowing dark hairstyle and a large rudraksha mala with a gold-toned ornament sits on a deep maroon cushioned seat, with a small red bindi on the forehead. A young man in a white t-shirt with dark printed graphics stands facing them, one hand raised in a gesture as he speaks. Behind them is a large decorative backdrop of garlands in yellow, red, green, blue and white, with a golden crown-like top and a pedestal fan on the right. An orange cloth rests on the seat beside the seated figure. The appearance-based cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas are consistent with a person seated in discourse, though this is uncertain.
