Behind them a brass oil lamp with a flame stands beside red roses and green palm fronds, and a large red and orange banner shows a smiling man in a white turban and dark jacket with partial letters reading 'SUTRA'. The setting appears to be a stage or discourse hall. Three physical people are visible.
