A standing man in orange robes with hair tied in a bun leans toward a seated figure, reaching out with his right hand to touch the outstretched palm of the figure. The seated figure is a lifelike statue or waxwork with long dark hair, a white vertical forehead mark and a red bindi, wearing a red-orange shawl and seated on an ornate gold throne with carved floral backrest. The plain white wall behind them is bare. The setting suggests a darshan or murti display rather than a live gathering.
