Behind them a second man in white dhoti and shawl with rudraksha beads sits attentively, and a gold-trimmed low platform is in front. Three people are visible.2016-07-10July 11 20162016-07-11A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red turban and rust-red draped garment, bare-chested with a gold chain and red wrist thread, smiling and gesturing with one raised hand toward a kneeling man in a white shirt who sits with palms pressed together in namaste.

The seated figure wears layered rudraksha malas and a long gold necklace, with gold armbands and earrings, and rests on a red cushioned throne against gilded carved panels and green foliage. A younger man in white with a tilak stands at the left edge.
