A seated figure in a rust-red turban, rust-red robe and white jasmine garland places one hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt, while holding a small white paper or card in the other hand.

The scene suggests a blessing or darshan in a golden-hued sanctum with a gilded lion-faced seat visible at left.
