A seated figure in orange-saffron robes with a long rope-like beaded necklace touches the forehead of a man in a white kurta with long dark hair, who has his hands raised in a receiving gesture. The robed figure sits on a red cushioned seat, with a yellow cloth draped over the shoulder, in a bright indoor hall with a white wall and a pale fan behind them. A partly visible man with a tilak on the forehead and a rudraksha mala sits at the right edge.
