A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair in a swept-back style, rudraksha malas hanging across his chest, and a red tilak on his forehead, places his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee in white shirt and white dhoti. The devotee has a beard and rests his left hand on the seated man's knee area. The seated man sits in an orange upholstered chair before a golden altar with marigold and red flower garlands, a white statue of a robed figure in orange, a small brass lamp and kalasha, a bunch of bananas, and a white-robed figure statue on the right. This appears to be a blessing or darshan moment.
