A bearded man in a rust-orange robe and a leopard-print headwrap with a crescent ornament sits on a leopard-print throne, smiling as he rests his right hand on the head of a shorter man with dark hair who is wearing a white kurta and rudraksha beads. The seated man wears rudraksha malas on his neck and arm and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind them a large blurred orange and red fire-like backdrop fills the stage, and a silver drum is partly visible at the left edge.
