A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange head wrap and a long rudraksha mala raises his right hand in blessing over the head of a younger man in white kurta who stands with palms joined in namaskar. Behind them a red wall hanging and brass lamps with a lit flame stand on the ashram stage, and a red velvet throne chair is at left. The seated man is a robed figure on a throne; appearance cues are limited, so identity is uncertain. Two people are visible.
