A seated figure in an orange-brown sannyasi-style wrap with long, swept-back dark hair and a long rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders reaches forward to place a hand on the head of a young child in a purple t-shirt. Around them, children and adults in white ritual clothing stand close, one woman wearing a beaded necklace and white sari-style dress, another child in a blue floral dress, and a boy at the right edge. Maroon curtains and a white wall with a window form the background. The figure appears to be a person based on the long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and orange garment, giving blessing to the child in what looks like a darshan setting.
