A seated figure in an orange-red turban, saffron-and-gold shawl and a thick twisted rope-like necklace with a gold ornament presses a hand to the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt with an orange-red sash. The seated figure has a gold brooch-like ornament on the turban, and a dark bead-and-rope neck garland. Behind them, several seated attendees wear white clothes and orange sashes, some with black blindfolds, and a large white banner with printed text stands in the background. A round wooden or brass bowl is visible near the kneeling man's hand. The setting is an indoor hall with red-cushioned chairs.
