Three men pose together in a decorated hall with red curtains. The seated central figure sits on an ornate silver throne with a red and multicolored padded backrest topped by a garland, wearing a maroon-red robe, a red turban, layered beaded necklaces, and a long white and pink flower garland; he raises one hand in greeting and holds a small floral bouquet. On his left stands a smiling man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl with a green-and-gold headpiece, white and red flower garlands, and a rudraksha mala. On his right stands a smiling young man in a saffron-orange robe and turban, with a rudraksha mala and white and pink garlands. A leopard-print cushion lies on the throne seat, and a patterned rug covers the floor.
