A seated figure in an orange shawl and red-orange garment, with a gold tilak mark on the forehead, a dark bun with a red band, and a beaded necklace, holds an open book while a white-haired elderly man in a white shirt and glasses sits before him with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind them are gold lion-shaped sculptures, red and white draped fabric, yellow flower garlands and a palm frond. The seated figure matches appearance cues for a person as the presiding teacher in orange, so this is a probable in-person appearance; the elderly man is a devotee.
