A seated figure in an orange-red cloth wrap with a long rudraksha mala and a white tilak on the forehead raises one hand while touching the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt. The seated figure is adorned with long swept-back hair and sits beside gold lion-form ornaments and a peacock-feather fan, with a silver trident raised above. This appears to be a blessing or initiation moment, with the trident and the gold lion ornaments visible in the setting.
