A seated man in a rust-red and saffron-toned robe, with long dark hair, a rudraksha bead crown and a crescent ornament at the top of his head, and a tilak on his forehead, extends his right hand to touch the forehead of a kneeling older man in a dark grey kurta. Behind him stand large silver lion figures and an ornate silver throne with carved floral panels, with a tall silver standing figure and a silver staff in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in the rudraksha crown and red robe, shown blessing the kneeling devotee on a stage setting. Two women in colourful dress stand at the right edge.
