Several saffron-robed monks sit in a row on ornate cushioned armchairs with dark wooden frames, set on a green carpet in a carved stone hall. A large red umbrella with sequined trim stands behind them. Standing attendants in red and white ceremonial costumes and white shirts attend nearby, and a man in a white shirt with a lanyard stands at the centre. The leftmost seated monk wears a rudraksha mala and sits with hands resting on his lap. Behind the row, a framed portrait and a banner with a yellow emblem hang on the wall. A pale-robed figure with a white shawl sits in the centre of the row.
