A seated man in saffron-orange robes, with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead and a long rudraksha mala, sits on an orange-draped throne placing his hand on the head of a kneeling woman in a white sari with a gold border. A kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti, hands joined in anjali, faces him at the foot of the platform, which holds a brown footrest mat. Behind them stands a silver-and-gold ornate setup with garlands of red and yellow flowers, a seated white statue in orange robes with a turban, metal lamps and a brass bowl of flowers. A small blue-clad deity figure is in a niche at right. The scene suggests a blessing during darshan.
