A man in a white t-shirt and grey shorts stands bent forward, his hand pressed to the forehead of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions. The seated man has long dark hair, a red bindi and tilak, a gold bead necklace and an olive-green sash over a bare shoulder, smiling as he receives the gesture. An orange backdrop with Kannada script stands behind the throne. A shaved-headed man in white stands at the right edge, and a gold-decorated table with flowers sits at the lower left. The seated figure matches the appearance cues of the a person candidate, though this is uncertain from appearance alone, so this is probable at best. Several people are visible, so the scene is a public satsang-style gathering.
