A seated man with swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a small gold earring and a long rudraksha mala with a golden clasp, wears a rust-orange shawl draped over a leopard-print cloth. He leans forward and reaches toward a kneeling young man in a grey top with a rudraksha mala, who looks up and smiles. In the foreground a man in a red shirt is seen from behind. Two electric fans, a red velvet curtain and a woven basket sit in the background, and another person in orange clothing stands at the right edge. Appearance-based label: a person with the orange shawl, rudraksha mala and swept-back hair as cues, but the face and posture give no clear confirmation, so this is uncertain.
