A seated man in rust-brown robes, with a gold-bead and ornate gold pendant necklace, long swept-back hair, a sacred mark on his forehead and a long silver staff beside him, sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushioning, placing his hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white dhoti. Three standing men in saffron-orange cloth, some with rudraksha malas and bare upper bodies, hold a folded paper and support the kneeling devotee's shoulders. Red curtains form the backdrop. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, rudraksha and gold ceremonial necklaces, and a rust-brown robe on a throne.
