A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with hair tied in a bun and a rudraksha mala, extends his right hand to rest on the forehead of an elderly man kneeling in front of him with his palms pressed together. The elderly man wears a white shirt and a wristwatch and has white hair and moustache. Behind the seated figure stands a silver staff with a decorative top and a gold ornament sits at the left edge.
