The man on the left wears an orange turban, a saffron wrap and a long beaded necklace, and smiles toward the centre. The seated man in the middle has a shaved head with white tilak markings and holds a stack of blue-covered books. The man on the right wears an orange hooded wrap, has a grey beard and holds books. Two younger white-clad attendants stand behind them between ornate gold thrones with red cushions. Behind them is a banner with a purple bird logo and Kannada script reading Dhyanapeetha. Water bottles and glasses sit on the table. Within the scene, no candidate has the distinctive combined cues needed for a probable identification, so the seated figures are described by role only.
