Two seated figures on decorated thrones in a lit ceremonial hall with strings of marigold garlands and a microphone on a stand at left. On the left, a bearded man in a brown robe and brown turban with a lavender and white shawl and a garland sits in a silver chair. On the right, a figure with a black crown-like headdress, white face markings, and a long red-and-yellow flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne holding a staff, with an open-palm gesture. The figure on the right appears to be a statue or painted sculpture rather than a living person, while the bearded man is a physical person. Lamps and a gold kalasha-style finial sit nearby.
