A man in a white long-sleeved top with a rudraksha mala around his neck stands with both hands clasped behind his head, eyes lowered, while a second man in a red patterned garment bends forward at left to hold or touch him. Red upholstered seating fills the background. No ornate saffron robes or crown are visible on the standing man, so no a person identification is made.
