On the left, a man with a long beard wears a crown, a tall white and red floral garland and red-brown robes, holding a yellow fruit, seated near a basket.

Men in white dhotis and a man in a brown saffron-toned cloth stand at the right with palms joined in namaste. A small fan and a television sit in the background.
