His right hand is raised, touching the head of an older man in glasses and a grey shirt on the left, who appears to be receiving a blessing. Behind them a second man with a shaved head and white forehead markings stands near a rudraksha mala, and a crowd of seated and standing people in a hall is visible. Maroon curtains with gold and orange patterned hangings frame the background, and a projector screen shows at the top left.
