A seated man in an orange sleeveless sannyasi garment with a long flowing wrap and a garland of white flower strands is smiling and handing a small card or envelope to a man in a white shirt who leans forward with hands together. Shoulder-length dark hair and a white tilak on the forehead are visible on the seated figure, who wears a garland of onion-like pale bulbs. Beside them a woman in a white and pink sari with a bindi sits smiling on a wooden bench near a television and white curtains. In the foreground a wooden tray holds red apples, wrapped sweets, and strings of rudraksha-like beads. Presentation of the seated figure's cues is consistent with a person candidate.

Three people sit on a mat in white clothes with hands pressed together in prayer: a man in a white shirt and dhoti at left, a woman in white at centre, and a woman with a long braid in white with an orange border at right. In front of them lie brass plates with flowers, a brass oil lamp, a silver dish, bananas, incense sticks and a silver vessel. On a wooden table at right stands a framed image of a seated figure in a golden throne wearing white and gold, beside an orange cloth, red apples and flower garlands. A framed portrait of a smiling man in orange cloth hangs on the wall at upper left, and a poster is labelled with the date 2006.
