A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with gold-bordered edges sits on an ornate golden throne carved as a cobra with a multi-hooded hood, backed by a red-and-black patterned cushion. A kneeling man in a white striped shirt and grey trousers bows forward, his head bent toward the seated figure, whose hands press together in front of his chest while hands rest on the kneeling man's head. Garlands of yellow and purple flowers hang around the throne, with floral arrangements, a tree-branch backdrop and an orange towel on the seat. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a rudraksha-style necklace, with the appearance matching the page's identification. Scene suggests a blessing or darshan setting.
