A man with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange saffron robe stands in front of an ornate gold throne-backrest, placing both hands on the crown of a seated man's head. The seated man, viewed from behind, is greyish-haired and wears a white garment with a dark beaded necklace. A red cushion sits at the lower left. The orange-robed man's distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold throne match the page's Swamiji reference, so he is an appearance-based probable Swamiji giving a blessing, while the seated devotee receives it. Plain blue drape is behind them.
