A seated figure with long dark hair wears an orange and green-bordered saffron shawl, extending one arm forward with an open palm toward a man in a white shirt who presses his palms together in greeting. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and shawl wears rudraksha malas and gold bangles and rests a hand on the seated figure's cushion. The seated figure sits on a red and white patterned cushion with gold ceremonial objects and flower garlands in the background, with a white air conditioner unit between them and the room. A rough, indistinct appearance-based match suggests a person as the seated person giving blessing, with visible cues of long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing and rudraksha malas; the others are a devotee and an attendant.
