A seated figure in a rust-orange turban and orange-gold robe, wearing a heavy gold-toned bead necklace and beaded bracelets, reaches out to rest his hand on the head of a small boy in a white shirt with green trim. The boy looks down, and a woman in white with a brown-beaded necklace and a forehead mark stands behind him, smiling. A shaved-headed man with glasses sits in the lower left foreground, with a white tilak mark on his forehead. The seat is red velvet, and the background is ornate gold-carved wooden lattice panels with a gilded carved armrest beside the seat. This appears to be a blessing moment during satsang, with the boy receiving a touch on the head.
