A seated man in an orange-red robe with a rudraksha mala and a bare upper body places his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white shirt, who has his eyes closed and is receiving blessing. The man holds a silver staff with a finial in his left hand, and gold drapery is visible at the lower left. Behind them, other devotees in white and saffron-brown clothing sit in a room with white walls and a red floor mat. The man's appearance with distinctive saffron robes and rudraksha beads is consistent with a person, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
