Four men pose in front of a large heart-shaped ornamental backdrop decorated with mirror-work, bands of green, blue and red, and garlands of yellow and white flowers. On the right, a smiling man with long dreadlocks and a dark turban-like head covering sits on an ornate silver throne upholstered in a leopard-print cushion. He wears a rust-orange robe, a heavy gold necklace and a gold chest ornament, and holds an orange fruit. A bespectacled man in white dhoti and shawl, with rudraksha beads, kneels beside the throne and clasps the seated man's hand. On the left, a man in white dhoti with yellow borders and a rudraksha mala stands, and beside the throne a man in orange cloth with a rudraksha mala holds oranges. Garlands and flowers fill the background.
