Two men sit close together at an indoor event. The older man in front wears a white kurta and a dark beaded rudraksha-style mala, with a small red mark on his forehead, and looks down. A younger man in a white shirt leans in from the right, his hand resting on the older man's shoulder, with a white event badge on his shirt. Behind them, other people wear white and red clothing. The older man shows no distinctive a person cues such as long hair, a crown or saffron ornate clothing, so his identity is uncertain.
