A seated man in a rust-red robe and layered rudraksha malas rests a hand on the head of a kneeling bare-chested man in a white dhoti, who has sacred ash on his body. Two attendants in orange garments and leopard-print headbands stand beside them; one holds a thin white thread above the kneeling man's head, and the other rests a hand on his back. The seated man wears a gold chain, a gold pendant with an om symbol, and rings, and sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne. Behind them are a gold carved wall, a colourful striped canopy and a golden lion-like carving. The seated man appears to be a person based on his rudraksha malas, ornate gold jewellery and red-and-gold robe, and is seated on a throne in a ritual blessing.
