The seated figure holds a small folded paper in his other hand and sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat beside gold lion-head armrests. A tall gold trident stands behind them, with greenery and a red curtain in the background. Another person in white is partly visible at the left edge. This matches the a person cues of long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-toned clothing, shown here giving blessing to a devotee.

A photograph of a ceremonial blessing. A man with long dark hair, a leopard-print hair band, red-brown rudraksha-style beads and a thick gold necklace, wearing a rose-pink shawl and bare-chested, leans forward and presses his right palm to the forehead of a seated man in a white shirt with a white forehead mark and red-and-gold beaded bracelets. The blessed man bows his head and holds his hands up. The blessing figure holds a small white card. Behind them stand a silver-and-gold staff, a gold lion-head ornament, green foliage and a dark red curtain. A man in orange robes stands at the left edge.
