A seated figure in a red turban, rudraksha mala and gold-trimmed red robes, with a wrap and ornate chain, smiles while extending a hand to a man in a grey collared shirt who kneels and offers his palm. Beside him, a bald man with a yellow tilak on his forehead, glasses, red robes and a gold-and-beaded necklace sits on a cushion. Behind them stand people in red and white attire with garlands, a gold throne is partly visible, and brass oil lamps with bird-shaped finials sit nearby on a red backdrop. The seated turbaned figure has distinctive long-hair-style cues absent, so identity is left to role: the central honoured seated teacher in red and gold with a turban and beaded mala, surrounded by devotees and attendants.
