Two men in saffron-orange robes stand on a concrete floor inside a plain hall with a corrugated metal roof. The man on the right has long dark hair, a red bindi and a heavy gold necklace of multiple strands; he holds a tall wooden staff with a striped grip. The man on the left, in orange with a maroon border, stands beside him. Behind them a raised orange-draped platform holds a framed portrait of a seated saffron-robed figure with a garland, and a row of tall staffs topped with orange flags stands along the wall.
