A seated man in a rust-red saffron wrap, with a rudraksha mala and white forehead markings, smiles as he places his hand on the head of a kneeling bearded man in a white dhoti with gold border and a red shawl. The seated man sits on a throne-like seat with gold lion figures and holds a silver staff with a golden finial. Red carpet, a wooden pillar and a pedestal fan are in the background. A second person is partly visible behind. The seated figure appears to be a person, seated in a teaching or blessing role with rudraksha and a saffron wrap, but the appearance is not conclusive enough for certainty.
