On the table at right are printed cards and small framed deity images, and a white cloth covers the seat. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with a red curtain behind. Several people are visible, including those partially cut off at the frame edges. Appearance-based label: a person, the seated figure giving blessing, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron cloth and bare chest with a rudraksha-style adornment not clearly visible; uncertain given the image resolution.
