A seated man with long dark hair tied up in a bun wears a tiger-striped saffron-and-black garment and a heavy mala of rudraksha beads with a red-and-white bead belt, sitting on a low platform with a tiger-striped cloth. He faces a younger man in a white shirt with a red shawl, whose hands are raised toward him in a gesture of reverence while he kneels. Behind them, a woman in a red sari sits with her hands folded, and several men in white clothes with red shawls stand near a white cabinet and a floor fan in a bright room with maroon curtains. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, rudraksha malas and striped garment are cues consistent with a person candidate, though the appearance is not conclusive.
