A seated figure in a red-orange robe with a large gold-and-rudraksha bead necklace and a white-and-red forehead mark places his right hand on the crown of a second seated person's head, in a blessing gesture. The person receiving the blessing wears a red shawl over a white garment and has his palms pressed together. Behind them are ornate gold carved lion-head armrests of a throne, a silver staff-like ceremonial rod, a white wall-mounted air conditioner and vertical striped panels. The setting appears to be a satsang hall, and the scene is a photograph showing a blessing with a hand on the head.
