A seated figure in a rust-red turban with a silver ornament and an orange-and-maroon robe, with a long white and red flower garland and gold armlets, places his right hand on the forehead of a smiling older man in a white shirt with a red-and-black printed shawl, who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them are a gold-carved throne, a golden staff, and deity murti with flower garlands. Two older women stand in the background, one in a white outfit and one in a red shawl with a lanyard. The gesture appears to be a blessing given by a seated spiritual figure.
