On the right, a man with long dark hair wears a rust-orange robe and a brown shawl, seated on a leopard-print cushion and smiling as he reaches forward. On the left, an older bearded man with glasses wears a white kurta, a black vest and an orange shawl, seated on a red-cushioned gold throne and extending both hands to receive a stack of books. Standing behind them are a bald man in orange and a rudraksha mala with a gold chain, a younger man in orange with a rudraksha mala, and several men in casual clothes. A framed painting of a deity hangs on the wall behind. A book lies on a cushion in the foreground. The right-hand figure shows distinctive long hair, orange robes and a brown shawl, a person candidate, though appearance alone is uncertain.
