Two saffron-robed men sit on an ornate gold-and-crimson throne in front of a golden lion-shaped armrest, with a gilded carved backdrop behind them. The man on the left is bald with white and red markings on his forehead and body, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold chain; he holds a small object in his hand. The man on the right, smiling broadly, has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a gold beaded necklace, rudraksha armbands and a headband, and wears orange clothing. A cluster of Indian television news microphones with channel logos is held in front of them. A framed picture hangs on the wall at right.
