A photograph of a seated figure on a red-cushioned throne-like seat, wearing a tiger-striped orange and black garment with a long garland of white and red flowers and a gold-toned necklace, with a gold bangle and white wrist band, extending a hand to touch the forehead of a kneeling man in a white dhoti and white shirt. Behind them stands a gold lion-headed ornament and a gold framed panel. Other people are in the background: a woman in a cream and gold sari with rudraksha beads and a sindoor-marked forehead, a woman in pink with a rudraksha mala, and several standing onlookers. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment.
