A long-haired man in a rust-red shawl and draped red-orange cloth, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, leans forward and presses both palms to the forehead of a woman in a patterned beige and brown sari with a red shawl and a bangle. Behind her a man in a pink shirt also reaches toward her head. To the left, a gold ornate throne back is visible, and in the background saffron-clad figures and gold-garlanded deity murti stand near green plants. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and red-orange wrap are the qualifying cues for the man giving the blessing, shown as an in-person blessing scene.

Behind them a woman in white with a rudraksha mala watches, and other devotees in orange sit at the right edge.
