A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved golden backrest raises a silver trident (trishul) over the shaved head of a kneeling initiate in white dhoti and shawl with gold border, a rudraksha mala on his neck and white sacred ash marks on his arm. The seated man wears red-orange robes, a rudraksha mala across his chest and long dark hair, and his hand rests on the initiate's head. Behind them, a bare-chested figure with white ash marks and a shaved head stands, and to the left two women in red-orange and white robes with rudraksha malas sit watching, one holding a notepad. The scene is a red-draped stage setting with a microphone. The seated figure with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron robes on a throne is a person candidate, though appearance alone is not conclusive.
