A standing man in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a tilak on his forehead drapes a saffron and pink cloth over the shoulders of a seated elderly man in white dhoti and shirt with a gold-bordered shawl. The elder sits on a red-cushioned seat before a golden ornate throne with repoussé carvings, with a microphone on a stand in front of him and his hands pressed together in greeting. Behind them hang a pink and gold draped canopy, and a golden decorated chair stands to the left. The standing figure's cues (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, forehead marking) fit the a person candidate, so the presentation is appearance-based and uncertain.
