A seated man in a saffron-and-maroon garment with a gold-bead mala and a white tilak on his forehead places his hands on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt, who holds his palms together in anjali mudra. Behind them stand ornate golden lamp stands and a carved wooden screen with lattice patterns, and a woman in white with a rudraksha mala sits at the right edge. The setting resembles a satsang or blessing scene with red cushions in the foreground. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the face and presentation are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the role is described as a seated blessing giver.
