A seated man in orange-red robes and a pink flower garland reaches out to touch the forehead of a woman in a white blouse and orange-red shawl with her hands raised in front of her, a blessing gesture. The man has long swept-back dark hair and a bindi, and a peacock-feather fan and a silver trident-topped staff stand beside him, with gold lion-headed armrests in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, ornate orange-red clothing and a flower garland, which are the cues used here, and is performing a blessing on a devotee. The setting is an indoor hall with a framed artwork on the wall and a blue panel behind; a second person is partly visible at the lower right.
