A seated man with long swept-back black hair, wearing an ornate gold-and-cream brocade kurta, leans forward to touch the forehead of an older man in a grey checked sweater and dark collar. The younger man sits on a cream cushioned sofa with red fabric beside him and a red-and-white quilted cushion. Behind them, a woman in a white top and orange shawl stands near a green potted plant and a red curtain, with another person partly visible at left. The scene looks like a blessing moment during a seated gathering in an indoor hall.
