A seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, bare-chested with a gold necklace and gold bracelet, holds a gold trident-shaped ritual staff (trishul) and extends his other hand toward a woman in a maroon sheer blouse and dupatta, who stands with palms pressed together near her face in a gesture of reverence. Behind them a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha-style necklace sits with hands folded, and a red velvet drape forms the backdrop. The setting appears to be an indoor satsang or darshan with devotees.
