A seated figure in a red-orange dhoti and shawl with heavy gold necklaces and bangles sits on a red-and-leopard-print throne, extending his hand to a man in a white kurta and white dhoti who bends forward to take it. Behind them, several women in white and orange-red saris and shawls stand on a red carpet near a standing air conditioner, red curtains and framed photos on the wall. Gold objects, including a gilded kalasha-like vessel, sit on the throne in the foreground. The scene suggests a darshan or blessing exchange in an ashram hall.
