A seated man in a red turban, saffron-red robe and rudraksha beads blesses a kneeling man in white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, placing his hand on the kneeling man's head. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold-and-brown throne with gold lion-shaped armrests. Behind them stand gilded arches, a garland-draped deity murti and a red-and-gold canopy. A white pedestal fan, an orange-draped table with a Yamaha amplifier, and a red-and-gold drum appear at the edges.
