A seated man with long swept-back hair, a red bindi, a rudraksha mala and a brown-and-gold shawl sits on a red velvet throne with a red tiger-stripe cushion. He holds a thin wooden stick and touches the forehead of a man in a white shirt and white trousers with a red-and-saffron sash, who stands before him with his palm raised. Behind them are a garland of yellow and red flowers, a golden lamp stand and purple drapes. The scene appears to be a blessing or initiation in a formal hall. Supporting cues for the seated figure are the long hair, rudraksha mala and shawl.
