A photograph of two people seated on ornate golden-framed thrones with orange tufted upholstery and a patterned patterned backdrop. A figure with a grey-streaked head wears an orange silk robe and a dark rudraksha-style mala, leaning forward and offering folded currency to a younger seated man in reddish-brown robes with a gold-beaded necklace, a white forehead marking and a striped cloth on his lap. A white cloth-covered vessel sits in the foreground. Two people are visible; the older figure's appearance is uncertain, so the identity of the figure in orange is not asserted.
