A long-haired figure in orange-brown robes with gold borders and an orange rudraksha-style mala stands bent forward, one hand resting on the chest of a seated man in glasses, a striped shirt and checked trousers, who sits on a metal chair with hands clasped. In the foreground a bare-chested young man in a white dhoti-style cloth with a red-and-gold waist sash kneels on a red mat, facing the seated man. To the right are red cushions, a gold-coloured ornate base and a gold lion-shaped figure.
