A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala around his neck, places his right hand on the forehead of an elderly woman who kneels before him. She wears a patterned blouse, a red hibiscus flower in her hair and green bangles, and her hands are raised in devotion. Beside them, a man in a white shirt and glasses holds a card, a shaven-headed monk in orange stands behind, and a white-clad attendant tends a table with a flower vase, a brass kalasha-style pot, papers and a trident-shaped emblem on the wall. The scene suggests darshan and blessing in an ashram hall with a red curtain.
