A seated man in a saffron-red robe and a thick gold-bead garland touches the forehead of a woman with shoulder-length light-brown hair. He sits on a gilded throne with golden lion-head armrests, red draped fabric and a curved gold rod behind him. The woman wears a white top with a red shawl printed with script and a rudraksha bracelet, and she presses her palms together in respect. A second woman in a white sari is partly visible at the right edge. The seated man's appearance includes long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and saffron robes, which matches the page's Swamiji reference, so the probable label applies: Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, giving a blessing touch to the devotee. Two people are visible in the scene.
