A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair tied back and white vertical tilak on his forehead places his right hand on the head of a woman in a white garment with her hair in a bun, who bows her head in front of him. The orange-robed man is a probable Swamiji candidate by appearance: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala with ornate beads. Behind them a man in orange with a shaved head sits with eyes closed, and a standing attendant in white with an orange shawl and a silence badge stands at the back. A digital clock showing 9:24 sits on a white cushion, a paper sheet is held in a hand, and rudraksha malas lie in the foreground. A seated elderly man in a checked shirt sits at left with hands pressed in namaste. Pale draped white fabric and a crimson curtain form the backdrop.
