A press conference with two seated men in saffron-orange robes on gilded thrones with maroon velvet backs, in front of a blue-painted wooden door. The man on the left, smiling, wears a dark rudraksha mala, copper-toned bangles and a headband, with white ash markings on his arms. The older man on the right, with a shaved head, white vibhuti forehead markings and a red bindi, wears a heavy gold necklace over rudraksha beads and holds a pink folder open, speaking into a microphone. Many microphones with TV and radio station logos crowd the foreground. Appearance cues on the left man (flowing hair absent; headband, rudraksha, saffron robe) are only partly distinctive, so identity remains uncertain.
