Three men pose together in a decorated hall with red curtains. The seated central figure sits on an ornate silver throne with a red and multicolored padded backrest topped by a garland, wearing a maroon-red robe, a red turban, layered beaded necklaces, and a long white and pink flower garland; he raises one hand in greeting and holds a small floral bouquet. On his left stands a smiling man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl with a green-and-gold headpiece, white and red flower garlands, and a rudraksha mala. On his right stands a smiling young man in a saffron-orange robe and turban, with a rudraksha mala and white and pink garlands. A leopard-print cushion lies on the throne seat, and a patterned rug covers the floor.

A seated man on a gold-cushioned throne wears a rust-red turban, red-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala with gold beads, smiling as he holds a small offering in his hand. Behind him hangs a large garland of yellow marigolds and red and white flowers, and a gilded lion-shaped carving rests beside the throne. Standing to the left, a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti and shawl with gold border wears rudraksha malas, sacred ash marks on his forehead and arms, and performs a gesture with his hands.
