Two seated men on ornate gold thrones on a stage with a painted backdrop of two standing deity murti with raised arms, holding ritual objects, flanking a large wooden door. The man on the left, elderly and shaved-headed, wears an orange shawl over a white undergarment, a rudraksha mala and a long beaded necklace, with hands folded in his lap. The man on the right, wearing an orange robe and a rudraksha mala, sits with hands clasped and smiles. Golden lion figures sit at the thrones' bases, a brass lamp stands nearby, and a red patterned rug lies on the floor. The left figure shows no distinctive visible cues beyond ordinary ritual clothing, so his identity stays unsure.
