The man stands before him, hands folded in a gesture of reverence, while a silver trident-like staff is held beside them against a plain beige wall.

Gold-toned fabric and a silver staff are visible at the lower edge. A second person's hand and face appear at the right edge.

The young man's hands are raised in a gesture of reverence with palms together. The giver holds a silver staff or rod in his left hand. A partially visible woman stands at the right edge.

Across from him, a man in a white kurta with a red cord around his neck sits with both palms pressed together in a namaste-like greeting.
