A seated man in a rust-red robe and many rudraksha malas sits on a plush maroon cushioned seat in front of an ornate silver embossed backdrop, smiling with one hand raised. Wearing a leopard-print headwrap and a gold pendant, he is attended by standing figures: on the left a man in an orange waist-wrap with bare shoulders and white horizontal marks, and a second man in white dhoti with gold border bowing with folded hands. A person at the right edge holds a paper. Behavior suggests a devotee's respectful greeting in a temple-like hall; a person candidate with distinctive rudraksha and robe cues sits on the throne, appearance is uncertain.
