Two men in golden-yellow silk kurtas with white silk shawls stand close together, both wearing the white-and-gold border shawls typical of ceremonial dress. The man on the left, with swept-back grey hair and a moustache, smiles broadly while raising a hand to his head. Beside him a man with short dark hair and a moustache looks toward the left. A blurred red-clad figure appears at the right edge, and a dark speaker sits on the upper right against a white wall with posted papers. Indoors, appears to be an event setting.
