A seated figure in an orange-red sannyasi wrap and a multi-strand rudraksha mala with short upswept dark hair places a palm on the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt and dark tie, who holds a blue and yellow booklet and a folded paper in his hands. Behind them is an ornate gold throne back, a red velvet seat, and yellow flowers with green foliage. The seated figure's long swept hair is not visible here; the appearance cues are insufficient for a confident identification, so the seated figure is described by role as a giver of blessing.
