A thatched-roof hall with woven palm walls and a red-cushioned seat on a raised platform. A man in white kurta and dhoti with an orange shawl stands at left, hands folded. In the centre, a figure in orange robes sits on the red seat and embraces a person in orange who is bending toward him; a wooden staff leans against the platform. Several devotees in white and orange sit on the floor at right and left, and a camera on a tripod films from the left edge. A framed portrait of a bearded figure in a yellow turban hangs at right. One of the seated figures wears a crown-like headdress and long dark hair, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.
