A seated figure in a rust-red turban and rust-red and gold draped robe rests a hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee in white. The devotee has dark swept-back hair, a sandalwood or vibhuti mark on the forehead, a rudraksha mala, folded hands in anjali, a gold wristwatch and a gold-bordered white dhoti and shawl. Behind the seated figure a gold ornate throne with a red velvet cushion is visible, and a red drape hangs in the background. A photographer with a camera stands at the upper right. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment. Visible evidence suggests the seated figure may be a person, though this is uncertain from appearance alone.
