Two men face each other closely indoors. On the left, a man with long dark hair tied back in a knot, a white tilak on his forehead, wearing an orange-red draped garment and a rudraksha mala with ornate gold pendant, sits before a golden lion-shaped figure. On the right, a close-cropped man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a red garland at his neck extends a raised hand toward a long silver staff held by the seated man. Wall panels are beige and a dark red cushion is visible. The left figure has long hair, orange-red robes, a rudraksha mala and gold pendant consistent with a person appearance cue, though the identification remains uncertain.
