A seated man in a plain green polo shirt bows forward with his head lowered while a bare-armed man in white dhoti and white shawl, wearing a long rudraksha mala and rudraksha bracelets, places his right hand on the devotee's head and holds a folded sheet of paper in his left hand. Vibhuti marks his forehead. Behind them are orange and red drapes, white and yellow flower garlands and a carved dark wooden chair draped with a tiger-striped cloth. This appears to be a blessing or initiation moment in a programme hall; the white-clad figure is an appearance-based candidate for the teacher but his identity is uncertain from the image alone.

A seated man in a cream-white dhoti and wrap sits on an ornate golden and red throne with a tiger-striped cushion, wearing a long rudraksha mala and rudraksha bracelets on his upper arm and wrist, with long dark hair and white forehead markings. He gestures with his right hand while speaking and smiles. In front of him, a man in a white shirt and white trousers kneels with his palms pressed together in a gesture of respect. A red tray with a folded orange cloth, fruit and small items sits at the lower left. Behind them, people stand near a window. Appearance-based probable candidate: a person, seated on the throne, is the central figure; the kneeling devotee is a devotee in white clothes.

A woman in a cream sari with orange border sits at right. The older man's hands cradle the seated figure's face and forehead in a blessing-like gesture. A red tray of offerings sits at lower left.
