A seated man in a red-orange robe with long dark hair swept back and a gold ceremonial necklace reaches forward with his right hand to bless a kneeling man. The seated figure sits on a golden throne carved with a cobra-hooded motif and holds a wooden staff with a silver top, in front of red draped curtains. The kneeling devotee wears a white shirt, an orange shawl and a wristwatch, and presses his palms together in anjali while his head is bowed to receive the blessing. This appears to be a darshan blessing.
