A man in a saffron-orange robe with a white forehead mark and a dark hair knot sits on a gold-ornamented seat and extends his right hand onto the head of a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears a white shirt, an orange-red shawl with printed text, and a rudraksha bracelet, and holds his palms together. Behind the blessing stands a silver staff with a finial and a peacock-feather fan, beside a golden lion-form armrest. The appearance is consistent with a person, seated in a saffron robe with a white tilak and a dark hair knot; the blessing is given in the seated role of a guru.2014-07-20
