A seated saffron-robed figure with long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha mala and a floral garland, holds an open book and extends a hand in blessing toward a kneeling man in a white kurta with a garland. A standing man in a striped shirt with an orange shawl places his hand on the kneeling man's head. Behind them stands an ornate gold throne with carved panels, a golden trident and red cushions draped over a tiger-skin rug. The scene reads as a ceremonial blessing at a dais.
