A seated man in an orange-and-gold striped turban and rust-orange shawl, with a rudraksha mala of reddish beads and gold ceremonial ornaments near him, raises his cupped hands in blessing toward a young boy in a white t-shirt who stands with eyes lowered. Behind them, a seated man with white tilak marks and white clothing sits beside brass vessels, while women in white and red shirts stand in a hall with fans and red curtains. The scene reads as darshan or blessing in an ashram hall; the seated blessing figure shows several cues, including a saffron-toned turban, rudraksha beads and ornate gold, so he is described as Swamiji (probable).
