A man in a rust-orange sanyasi wrap and a thick rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a white horizontal forehead band, bending over a sleeping newborn wrapped in a white blanket printed with pink floral motifs. His hands cradle the baby on his lap. A gold-tinted cushion and a gold lion-head ornament are visible beside the throne, with a maroon velvet curtain behind. A second person's hand appears at the right edge. Per the page, this is a darshan house visit during which a person blesses a baby; the man's appearance (long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, orange wrap, throne) is consistent with the a person candidate.
