Two men stand in a room with bright blue walls filled with white marble deity statues on shelves, including a seated Jain-style figure, a seated four-armed goddess in pink and gold at upper right, and a small carved figure at lower right. The man on the left wears a loose orange-saffron wrap over his shoulders and looks down, hands clasped at his waist. The man on the right wears a white kurta, an orange-saffron shawl draped over one shoulder, a rudraksha mala around his neck, and a red tilak on his forehead; he holds an open book and points at its page with a pen while the other man reads. A wooden chair with a floral-patterned cushion sits at the lower left.
