A seated bearded man with long dark hair swept back, wearing a white forehead marking, rudraksha beads and an ochre-red shawl draped over bare shoulders, rests his right hand on the head of a young boy kneeling before him. The seat is covered in a leopard-print cloth, and behind them stands an ornate carved wooden backdrop with a brass trishula-shaped ornament. Another person in orange clothing sits partly visible at right, and a silver-toned figure appears behind the boy. The man has a Swamiji (probable) appearance cued by the swept-back hair, ochre shawl, rudraksha and forehead marking, shown giving blessing to a devotee in what appears to be an energy darshan setting.
