A seated figure on an ornate golden throne with an orange cushion places a hand on the head of a bald older man in white clothes and an orange-saffron shawl, during a blessing. The seated figure wears a white floral garland with red flowers, a red-and-gold cloth, and beaded bracelets; the blessed man has an orange-saffron shawl with a rudraksha-style mala. Behind them, women in red, maroon and white saris and red bindis stand near a golden trident and brass oil lamps, and a young boy in white looks on at right. A golden peacock-feather backrest and dim ashram lighting fill the scene. a person's appearance is not clearly confirmed, so the seated figure is described by role only.
