A seated man in an orange-saffron robe wrapped over one shoulder sits on an ornate gold throne with a red tiger-striped cushion and gold lion-carved armrests, garlands of red and yellow flowers behind him.

A young boy in a white shirt and white trousers kneels before him, bowing his head forward as the seated man rests a hand on the boy's head in blessing, a darshan-style moment on a raised white platform.
