A seated man in red-and-saffron robes with a garland of white, red and yellow flowers blesses a young boy with shaved hair and a small topknot who wears an orange-saffron shawl. The man has a white tilak on his forehead and his hand rests on the boy's head. Behind the boy, a ceremonial staff wrapped in white cloth stands upright. A gold-colored lion or animal-form seat or throne piece is at lower left, and a gold throne with red cushioning sits in the background. Another man in saffron robes stands behind, and a woman in white watches at right. The setting is an indoor hall with pale walls and a framed painting above.
