A seated man in an orange and red turban, with a white flower garland and red floral garland, sits on a gold-and-red throne before a large backdrop painting of an orange-robed figure with rudraksha beads. He is bare-chested with a saffron shawl over his shoulder and pink dhoti, holding a white thread or cord in his hands. Standing nearby, a man in a light blue kurta and another in white kurta lean in, and a woman in a green and red sari stands at right. Gold kalasha-style vessels, fruits and offerings sit on a tray at the throne's base. The scene appears to be a ritual or puja at an ashram setting.

A seated figure on a gold-trimmed throne with red cushions wears an orange and pink turban, a white-and-red flower garland, a pink dhoti and an orange shawl with gold border, while his right hand reaches toward a white thread held by a man in a light blue kurta.

A large painted backdrop of a saffron-robed figure with red bead strands fills the background. A tray of fruit and offerings appears at the bottom.
