A seated man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a rust-orange draped cloth and a long ceremonial necklace of gold beads, reaches out to touch the forehead of a woman with short reddish-brown hair and glasses. She wears a white top with an orange-and-cream printed shawl and gold earrings, and her palm is raised in a gesture of reception. Behind them are gold lion-shaped armrests, a carved wooden staff with a serpent-head top, a silver-tipped rod, and red draped curtains. A second woman in a white sari is partly visible at the right edge. Swamiji (probable) is seated in the centre, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing and gold beaded necklace; he is performing a blessing touch.
