A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a rust-orange dhoti-style cloth, a shawl-like orange wrap over one shoulder, and a long gold and rudraksha-style garland over his chest, smiles broadly while holding a small silver bowl with a silver cup. Beside him a woman in a red blouse and cream-and-gold saree holds up a mobile phone toward him, and a man in a white shirt stands behind her.

A shaved-headed young man in the background stands near a curtain. The seated figure sits before a large painted backdrop of a banyan tree, with a low table holding a plate of offerings and a small decorative bowl on a speaker unit at left.
