A seated man with long dreadlocks, a white horizontal forehead mark, and a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulders places his right hand on the head of a young boy in white clothes wearing a red rudraksha mala. The man sits on an ornate gold throne beside a leopard-print cushion and brass lamps, with a red curtain behind. Other people, one in a white garment with red bracelets, hold their hands together in anjali or touch the boy, with a woman partially visible at right. The scene is a blessing or darshan at a KAILASA event. The seated man has distinctive long dreadlocks, saffron clothing and a throne, so this is an appearance-based a person candidate.
