A seated figure in a rust-red robe with a gold-edged shawl sits on a red cushioned throne beside an ornate gold carved panel, leaning forward to touch the shoulder of a younger man in a white kurta who stands before him with his head bowed. The seated figure's dark hair is tied back and he wears a small mark on the forehead. Behind them a floral backdrop and a tall white panel fill the room. Appearance-based probable candidate: a person, seated on the throne and conferring a blessing on the devotee. The devotee stands in white clothing in an individual darshan setting. The small gold-trimmed red-brown robe and gold-lined throne suggest a formal blessing session.
