A man with long dark hair tied back, bare-shouldered and wearing a saffron-orange garment with a rudraksha mala, reaches out and places his palm on the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta with a saffron-red shawl printed with script. The standing man raises one hand in a blessing gesture. Two seated women in saffron and white are visible in the background, and a golden vessel edge appears at the lower left.
