On the left, an elderly bearded man with a shaved head wears saffron-orange robes, a garland of marigolds and red flowers, and sits with hands raised near his face. On the right, a younger man with long dark hair tied up, wearing a brown-red garment, sits on a gold throne with a garland and a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. A seated attendant in brown-orange robes sits on the floor between the thrones. Red and patterned rugs cover the stage floor.
