A bald, bearded elderly man in cream-white dhoti and shawl leans forward to embrace or honour a younger shaven-headed man in orange robes. A standing figure in an orange-clad robe with a bare back and orange dhoti faces the throne. At left, a shirtless man with a bindi, orange shawl and orange-yellow garland stands beside a pedestal fan. Rose petals are scattered on the stage floor. A purple-and-yellow flower arch frames the scene.

Behind them a man in orange stands near a camera operator, and a seated man in an orange vest sits at the right edge. Purple drapes hang behind the stage.
