A bare-chested man in a rust-orange dhoti with gold-striped border and a saffron shawl, wearing a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklace with long swept-back hair, places his hand on the head of a woman in a red blouse and white sari who holds a glass and a brass plate. Beside them an older woman in a purple sari, a man in white shirt and dhoti with a red garland, a man in white with a mala, a child and a young girl in teal watch. Flowers sit on a table draped in orange cloth at right. Probable Swamiji is the central figure in saffron clothing with distinctive long hair and ornaments, performing a blessing for a devotee.
