A seated man in an orange saffron robe and rudraksha mala, with a tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair, places his hand on the head of a young man in a brown sleeveless top and khaki trousers who bends forward toward his feet at a satsang or darshan on a stage with a red-brown drape and a painted decorative pillar. Behind him a young attendant in white shirt and orange shawl holds a tray of offerings with a bell and sweets. Other people in white shirts with orange shawls, a man in a pink striped shirt steadying the young man, and a woman seen from behind in the foreground watch. A digital clock and a trident stand nearby. Probable Swamiji (saffron robe, rudraksha mala, long hair) is the seated blessing figure.
