A woman in a white sari with a gold border stands at left beside an ornate gold pillar, one hand extended toward a seated figure in a large painted portrait. The portrait shows a bearded man with a tall reddish-brown turban bearing a horizontal tilak, wearing layered white flower garlands, a pendant necklace and a maroon robe, one hand raised in blessing. He sits on a cushioned throne with a woven base, and a small gold kalasha with flowers and mango leaves rests at the bottom right. Red and gold tassels hang from the maroon backdrop, and marigold petals lie on the floor.

A large printed portrait of a smiling bearded man in an orange-red robe, a red turban with a sacred mark, white flower garlands and beaded necklaces, sits behind a beige cushioned chair with dark wooden arms. Gold-coloured ornate pillars flank the backdrop, with red and gold decorative panels on each side. In front of the chair, a brass kalasha with a coconut and flowers sits among plates of sweets, fruit, and savouries on a red cloth.
