A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, a bun, and layered beaded necklaces sits on a red and tiger-striped throne-like seat, extending his right hand in blessing toward a bald man in white shirt and white dhoti with gold border who bows and touches the seated man's foot. Behind them, another man in orange with a rudraksha mala stands, and a younger man in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha mala stands at right. A red box holds offerings and packets at lower left, a brass lamp sits on the tiger-print cushion, and a cooler stands against the wall.
