A photograph of two men in a seated indoor setting with a gold oil lamp and a brass lamp stand behind them, and a colourful painted backdrop. The man on the left has long, swept-back dark hair, a small red bindi, a bare shoulder, and a dark purple-maroon draped cloth with an orange edge, seated on a red upholstered chair. The man on the right, in a white shirt with a red and blue cord around his neck, stands and presses his hand to the seated man's forehead in a blessing or touching gesture. The seated figure's appearance is distinctive with long hair and bare shoulder, though identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.

A small red tilak mark is visible on the seated man's forehead. Behind them stand a brass oil lamp with a glowing flame, a pillar and red drapery, and a large painted backdrop in warm orange tones.
