The orange-clad man has long dark hair and is leaning forward while blessing the elder. To the right, a woman in a white blouse with a yellow shawl and a long braid watches. In the background, women in orange and white stand under maroon drapery with tassels. In the foreground, a tray holds apples, a string of beads, folded money notes and a gold-coloured vessel, beside a gold-framed pillar. The setting appears to be an indoor hall.

A seated figure in orange robes and a long pearl necklace, with dark swept-back hair, places a hand on the forehead of a man in a cream short-sleeved shirt who bows and holds a yellow object in cupped hands. A standing man in white with an orange shawl and a pendant necklace smiles behind them, and an older woman in a white top stands in the background of a hall with red curtains and a yellow patterned pillar. Probable Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure receiving the blessing, identified by orange robes, ornate pearl necklace and swept-back hair; the bowing man is a devotee.
