A seated man in a white shirt presses his palms together in anjali and bows his head while a figure in an orange sleeveless top and dark hair in a braid places a hand on his crown, a blessing gesture. Behind them, a silver-covered container with flower petals sits on a yellow cloth-draped table beside a brass lamp, and a woman in a white sari with gold border and an orange shawl stands at right. The floor is covered with an orange cloth and a striped mat, in front of walls painted with red and white stripes and a red floral border. The orange-clad figure wears a rudraksha mala and a sleeveless saffron top; the face is not visible, so the figure is described only by role as a sannyasi giving a blessing.
