On the left, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a red-orange shawl and a heavy gold necklace of ornate beads, and gestures with open hands toward a golden object.

Between them stands a gold cobra-hooded ornament with a dark snake coiled on it, beside a tall silver staff topped with a round disc. A peacock-feather fan appears at the left edge. The atmosphere is joyful and ceremonial, consistent with satsang.
