A seated person with long dark hair pulled back, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over the shoulder and a rust-coloured rudraksha mala, reaches forward to touch the forehead of a kneeling man in a white kurta with a red cord around his neck. The kneeling man raises his palms in an anjali-like gesture while being blessed. A standing figure in an orange and gold shawl with a mala is partly visible at the right edge, and a white wall fan and window frame are in the background. The setting appears to be an indoor ashram hall during a blessing or darshan moment.
