A seated man in a rust-orange and gold-bordered shawl over a bare upper body, wearing a long brown rudraksha mala and white vibhuti on his forehead with a red kumkum dot, presses his right hand to the forehead of a younger man in a white striped polo shirt, who holds his palm up in reverent gesture. Behind them is a deity murti decorated with red and white flower garlands, a purple and red draped cloth, gold pillars and a golden lion-shaped armrest in the foreground. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan in a temple-style room. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-orange shawl cues, and is performing the blessing.
