A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a gilded throne with leopard-print cushions, smiling and extending a hand toward a visitor. A golden lion figure rests on the seat beside him, and a tray of red apples sits in front. A man in a dark shirt and khaki trousers, wearing an orange shawl, bows with hands folded near a white-clad priest wearing a garland and gold armlets, who holds a rudraksha mala and offers it. A framed gilded painting of deities hangs on the wall behind, with a silver trident at the upper left. Setting appears to be an ashram darshan room during a blessing.
