A seated man in orange robes with an orange head covering and a long rudraksha mala holds a sheet of paper and reads from it to a standing young man with short brown hair and a beard, who wears a white t-shirt with a red-and-white cord and raises his right hand in a vow gesture. Behind them stand a woman in a white top with a multicolour scarf and another woman in a dark patterned outfit, while a woman in a white sari with a red border and glasses sits nearby, and a woman in white with a rudraksha mala appears at right. A golden oil lamp stands at left against deep red curtains. The seated man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone; he is shown as a presiding teacher figure, and no name is printed on the image.
