A seated man with long dark hair and a beard wears orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a gold-toned necklace, gesturing while seated on a throne-like seat draped in red. A woman in a cream sari with a red border sits beside him, and a woman in an orange robe stands speaking into a microphone while reading from papers.
