A seated figure in a rust-coloured dhoti and shawl, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a white flower garland, raises his palm over the head of a seated man in a purple striped shirt. The seated man is bowing forward, holding a small white paper in one hand. Behind them stand a silver staff with a bird-shaped finial, a plate of oranges, green leaves and a gold-draped throne with red cloth. Another person in a red top sits at the right edge. The gold throne, rudraksha mala and saffron-toned dress are cues for a person seated on the peetha, bestowing a blessing on a devotee, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
