Two men in golden-yellow silk kurtas with white silk shawls stand close together, both wearing the white-and-gold border shawls typical of ceremonial dress. The man on the left, with swept-back grey hair and a moustache, smiles broadly while raising a hand to his head. Beside him a man with short dark hair and a moustache looks toward the left. A blurred red-clad figure appears at the right edge, and a dark speaker sits on the upper right against a white wall with posted papers. Indoors, appears to be an event setting.

Several men in front are garlanded with white jasmine and yellow marigold malas. The man in the centre wears a grey-green embroidered kurta and smiles broadly; the man at left wears a cream kurta and wristwatch. Behind them, women and men in orange stoles stand or sit.
