A seated person in a golden throne-style chair with an ornate gold backrest places a hand on the forehead of a young boy in a dark blazer and light blue shirt. The seated figure wears a rust-orange turban with a red feather, an orange-gold garment, a thick red and gold flower garland, a pearl necklace and gold bangles. Behind them, a man in a white shirt with a lanyard presses his palms together in prayer, and a sadhu in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands nearby. A tray with fruit and a water bottle sits on a red cloth beside the throne, and a patterned red rug covers the floor. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, orange-gold clothing and garland cues, and is shown in the role of blessing a devotee.
