A seated figure in a rust-red saffron wrap with a long, swept-back dark hairstyle and a brown rudraksha-style mala across the chest raises a hand to bless the head of a older man in a white shirt and red-and-cream shawl, who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them are ornate garlanded deity murti figures draped in gold necklaces and pink, maroon and green cloth, with a golden throne-like seat on the left and green foliage. The scene appears to be a darshan with blessing. Two physical people are visible.

Behind them stand a kalasha-style arrangement of orange and yellow flowers, a lit oil lamp, and golden deity murti decorations with garlands. A woman in white and red sits at the right edge.

Behind them are ornate deity murtis adorned with gold garlands, green foliage and pink draped cloth, with a woman in red partly visible. Another person in white stands at the right edge.
