A seated man in a plain green polo shirt bows forward with his head lowered while a bare-armed man in white dhoti and white shawl, wearing a long rudraksha mala and rudraksha bracelets, places his right hand on the devotee's head and holds a folded sheet of paper in his left hand. Vibhuti marks his forehead. Behind them are orange and red drapes, white and yellow flower garlands and a carved dark wooden chair draped with a tiger-striped cloth. This appears to be a blessing or initiation moment in a programme hall; the white-clad figure is an appearance-based candidate for the teacher but his identity is uncertain from the image alone.

He smiles while placing his hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee in a yellow-and-white checked shirt, who raises one palm in front of him. Another person is partially visible at the lower right, and a window and wall-mounted air conditioner appear behind.
