A seated man with swept-back dark hair, bare-chested with an orange-gold dhoti and a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, sits on a red cushioned throne flanked by golden lion-head armrests. He extends his right arm toward a young boy in a white shirt with a lanyard and rudraksha beads, who stands with palms pressed together in a gesture of reverence. Behind them a seated man in white ritual dress with a bead bracelet watches, and a garland-draped deity murti and red and white flower garlands fill the background. Two women in white and a man stand at the right edge. The setting resembles a temple or ashram hall with a fan and a pink wall.
