Two men in plain white dhotis and white shirts stand on a concrete floor in front of a red velvet curtain stage with hanging ribbons and a tinsel decoration. The man on the left, with long swept-back dark hair, wears a white shawl with red borders and a gold-coloured bangle, and listens. The man on the right, holding a black handheld microphone, speaks to him while gesturing with a small white object. A partly visible portrait or framed picture stands behind them on the stage, and a yellow line marks the floor.
