In the foreground a man in a white kurta with a dark patterned shawl and rudraksha beads sits with palms pressed together on a red-cushioned silver throne. Beside him a man in a maroon-brown robe, gold necklaces and a rudraksha mala, wearing an ornate maroon turban with a feather, sits on a matching throne with palms joined, while an attendant in orange cloth raises a flaming oil lamp in the foreground. Flags in red, orange and a Mauritian-style tricolour stand behind the thrones, with a gold-draped table holding vases of white flowers in front.
