A bearded man with long hair in a rust-red robe and a multicolour flower garland stands barefoot in an ornate hall, hands joined in anjali. Beside a gold-and-silver throne (peetha) draped in red and garlanded with red and white flowers, he faces a group of children in orange robes who stand with hands folded in namaste on the left. An adult in white dhoti and an orange-trimmed shawl stands among them. Red and orange floor coverings and stone pillars surround the scene. Another adult in orange and a boy in a grey t-shirt are also visible. The figure's appearance (long swept-back hair, flower garland, rust robe) fits a candidate for a person, though the image is not conclusive.
