A seated figure with swept-back dark hair, wearing a pink and white flower garland and an orange-red cloth, places his hand on the forehead of a young man in a white shirt and orange shawl. The recipient stands with eyes closed and palm raised. A tall silver trident rises beside them, and a gold ceremonial object and a peacock-feather fan sit in the foreground. A small white paper slip is held in the seated figure's other hand. The setting is an indoor hall with a framed painting behind. A candidate in the seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person claim, showing long swept-back hair, a flower garland and orange-red cloth, so this is a person performing a blessing in person, while the standing young man in white and orange receives it. Another person in a yellow dhoti is partly visible at the right.
