A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe, wearing a multi-strand rudraksha mala and a garland of pink and red flowers with yellow blossoms, rests his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white kurta. The kneeling devotee holds his palms together in anjali mudra with eyes lowered. Behind them is a golden serpent-hooded sculpture and red zebra-print upholstery against deep maroon drapery. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a white vibhuti mark with a red bindi, and ceremonial rudraksha and flower garlands, matching the page's Padukā Pūjā and blessing setting; the blessing gesture is a darshan-style head blessing.
