A seated man in a saffron-orange robe wears a pink flower garland and a black rudraksha mala, sitting on a red cushioned throne with gold lion-head armrests. He reaches forward and places his palm on the forehead of a woman in a white blouse with a saffron shawl who holds her hands raised in an anjali-like gesture. A silver trident stands beside the throne and a painted backdrop of a city with a temple is behind him. The man is a person based on the saffron robe, rudraksha mala and throne cues; the woman is a devotee receiving blessing.
