A seated man in a rust-orange robe, long dark hair, a rudraksha mala with a thick ceremonial necklace and gold bangles, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne and places his palm on the forehead of an elderly man in a pink shirt with an orange shawl who kneels before him. Behind them, women in cream and gold-bordered saris, one in a green sari, and a young girl with gold necklaces stand in a red-draped hall with potted plants and a pedestal fan. The seated figure has a person appearance by his flowing hair, saffron robe and mala, and the kneeling man is a devotee receiving blessing, giving the scene a darshan character.
