The older man wears a white t-shirt and an orange lanyard, and holds his other hand up in a palm-forward gesture. The seated man sits on a red velvet chair with a red velvet curtain behind. A wooden box holding silver-toned ceremonial items sits at the lower left. To the right, a standing man in white ritual cloth with a gold border and rudraksha beads watches the exchange. Two white room coolers stand against the wall behind them.
