A seated figure in a red-orange turban with gold floral embroidery, red-orange draped clothing and a heavy gold necklace touches the crown of a young light-haired boy in white clothing and a beaded mala. The seated figure holds a silver staff with a serpent-like wooden carving, and gold ornaments and golden draped fabric appear at the left, with gold and red curtains behind. The boy kneels with palms pressed together and eyes closed, receiving a blessing. Strong resemblance to appearance-based a person: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, rudraksha bracelets and saffron-red garments, seated in a blessing role.
