A seated figure in orange-saffron robes and a matching orange turban with a gold-trimmed edge touches the forehead of a man in a white kurta and white dhoti-style clothing who kneels before him. The seated figure wears long rudraksha-style beaded malas, gold bangles on the upper arm and wrist, and a red tilak, and smiles while holding an open printed booklet with a photograph on its cover. Behind them, a gilded golden throne or altar backdrop and an orange cloth are visible. The kneeling man wears glasses and red and gold wrist threads. This appears to be a padapuja-style blessing with personal touch.
