A seated devotee in a rust-orange garment with a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a white tilak on the forehead bows forward while an older man in a white shirt and white trousers, with grey hair and a white moustache, places his right hand on the devotee's head and raises his left hand in blessing. A garland of red, yellow and white flowers hangs in front of the devotee, and a gold deity murti stands behind them against a maroon curtain, with a small pink paper held by a hand at lower centre. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment. No a person candidate can be confidently established from appearance, so the description does not name anyone.
