A seated man in an orange-red saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne with carved gold backrest, wearing a white flower garland with red accents, a gold crown-like headband, gold necklaces and gold armlets. He looks down with hands resting on his lap, a white tilak on his forehead. Beside him on a second gold throne sits an elderly bald man in orange robes with a white garland and rudraksha beads, and a standing man in orange holds a microphone and reads from a book at the left edge. The gold-carved thrones and a painted backdrop of a face are behind them.
