A seated figure in a maroon-red robe with gold brocade border and a long gold-trimmed shawl sits on a red cloth beside an ornate golden lion-headed armrest, touching the forearm of a younger man in a white collared shirt who gestures with raised, open hands. The seated figure has long dark hair tied up in a bun with a red band, a vertical white forehead mark, and a beaded necklace. Behind them, a man in a white polo shirt with a name badge stands watching, and other people in white kurta and white clothing stand in a bright hall with a red curtain at the back. The seated figure fits the appearance cues for a person, seated in a teaching or blessing exchange with the devotee, though the face is partly turned away.
