A standing woman in white clothing with a white shawl and a rudraksha-style bead mala around her neck places both hands on the head of a seated woman in a blue and white floral sari with green bangles and a red bindi. The seated woman sits with palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed, on a plastic chair. Behind them is a red-carpeted stage with a small monitor, a potted palm and a wall of framed photographs. Two people in the background are at the photo wall. The standing woman's appearance does not clearly match the a person candidate criteria, so she is described only by role.
