A photograph of a seated man in a bare-chested orange-saffron cloth with gold jewellery and a gold-tipped ceremonial staff raised in his right hand, facing a standing woman in a white sari with a dark plait and gold bangles who raises her open palms toward him. Behind them a seated woman in white with a pendant necklace sits before a deep red draped curtain, and a seated man in an orange shirt is partly visible at the left edge. A tiger-striped cloth covers the seat, and white flower garlands hang at the right. The seated man has a shaved-looking swept-back hairstyle and a sandalwood-coloured forehead mark, but his face and appearance are not clear enough for a confident identification, so he is described by role only.
