A kneeling bare-chested devotee with a shaved head and gold rudraksha-style necklaces bows forward while a standing man in a rust-red turban, red and white flower garlands, a brown rudraksha mala and gold armlets places his hand on the devotee's head in blessing. Two priests in white dhotis with brown shawls stand behind, and two men in red shawls press palms together nearby. In the foreground a small ceremonial brass vessel with a crown-like finial sits on a glass stand. The setting is a dim ceremonial hall.
