A seated bald man in a white kurta wears a red rudraksha mala and an orange-red shawl printed with script, and he clasps his hands while smiling toward the front of a hall. Beside him a man with a beard and orange shawl sits in a white outfit, and rows of seated attendees in white and orange-red clothing fill the room, with wooden chairs in the foreground. The seated man shows no distinctive saffron or crown cues, so his identity is not established from appearance and he is described by role only as a seated participant.
