A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a rust-red robe and a brown rudraksha-style beaded mala, reaches up to touch the forehead of a smiling man in a white t-shirt and red scarf printed with script. The white-shirted man holds his hands in anjali mudra. Behind them stand gold-adorned deity murtis draped in garlands and colourful silk, and an ornate gold throne-like chair is at left. This matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long hair and rust-red saffron-toned robes with rudraksha mala, giving a seated blessing darshan moment.
