A seated figure with long swept-back hair bound up and a rudraksha crown, wearing a saffron-red robe, multi-coloured flower garlands in white, purple and red, a gold armlet and bangles, sits on a red throne before a gold lattice wall. He lays his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling, shaved-headed man in white ceremonial cloth with a white vibhuti mark, whose hands are folded in namaskar. Women in white saris with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand nearby, and a bowl of offerings sits by the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, rudraksha crown, saffron robe and ornate garlands match the page description, and he is giving blessing to the devotee.
