A seated figure in a red-brown robe with a long white floral garland and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace receives a tilak on the forehead from a man in a white shirt, who holds a small brass dish in his other hand. The setting is a pink stone temple chamber with a carved wooden stand, latticed windows and a ceiling fan. Behind them stands a man in orange, with a bald head and glasses. The seated figure wears gold bangles and a long dark hair braid, eyes lowered. Blurred ritual setting consistent with a temple blessing.
