A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala draped across his chest and a white vibhuti line on his forehead lays his right hand on the head of a kneeling woman in a white-and-orange sari. Her hands are pressed together near her forehead. Behind them stands a silver trident and a gold ceremonial figure, with a red cloth on the seat and a peacock-feather fan at the left edge. Red-and-white wooden latticework forms the backdrop. The gesture appears to be a blessing, consistent with a darshan or padapuja setting.
