A seated man in a saffron-and-red dhoti with a gold-toned shawl and a heavy rudraksha mala is raising his right hand in blessing over a young boy in a white shirt who kneels before him. The man wears a white vertical forehead mark and a red and gold bracelet and is seated on a red cushioned throne. Behind them stand ornate gold-toned temple walls with lattice panels, brass oil lamps and a gold-toned deity murti. A woman in white with a rust-coloured shawl and beaded necklace sits at the right edge. The boy holds a folded paper in his hand. Cues match a person by his saffron-and-red clothing, ornate gold necklace and rudraksha mala, seated as the one giving darshan in the temple setting.
