A bald-headed man wearing a rudraksha headband and rudraksha mala, with a long garland of yellow flowers and green leaves, sits in a cream sweater and gold-framed glasses while a shaven-headed monk in saffron stands at right, holding a gold ritual vessel with a spout. A second person in white stands at left edge. An orange wall and a blue sign behind. Visible cues are limited; the seated man is not clearly identified, so a person is unsure.
