Indoor satsang setting in which a figure in a dark red-brown ochre garment with a gold-bordered wrap and a tied-back bun, wearing a white tilak on the forehead and multiple bangles and a wristwatch, places one hand on the forehead of a young man in a white t-shirt with orange printed designs and a lanyard badge. The young man stands with eyes closed and a red shawl draped over his shoulders, bowing his head. A golden ceremonial object and a gold-clad item sit at lower left, with another seated devotee in yellow visible at right. The figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues of long swept-back hair, ochre clothing and ceremonial adornments, shown in the act of giving a blessing.
