A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and red-orange cloth sits on a gold-trimmed throne decorated with yellow flowers, extending his hands in blessing toward an older man in a grey shirt and white dhoti who stands with his hands cupped forward. A woman in a cream sari with a long braid stands beside him, and a white-clad attendant is at the right edge. Behind them a pink-lit backdrop shows carved stone pillars and temple architecture, with a small floral arrangement and a lit lamp on a table in front.

The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a saffron-robed sannyasi, but the identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, and the page does not state he is present.
