In the foreground, a seated figure in a saffron-orange turban and sleeveless saffron robe, wearing a white flower garland with large yellow-green beads, reaches out and touches a baby wrapped in an orange cloth held by a smiling young man in an orange top with a red tilak. A digital clock, fruit and flowers sit beside the seated figure. Strings of lights and orange flags decorate the background. The seated figure has long dark hair and distinctive orange robes and garland, so the appearance-based label is a person, seated in a darshan blessing role.
