A seated man in an orange-rust saffron wrap with a bare right shoulder and a wide ceremonial necklace of white beaded strands stands at the centre of the scene, smiling, with white vertical marks and a red bindi on his forehead and hair swept back. His left hand holds a small hand drum with a wooden stick. He raises his right arm to rest his palm on the forehead of a bald man in a white long-sleeved shirt, who bows his head toward him. Behind them are gold-coloured decorations and a red cushioned seat. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with beige walls, consistent with a blessing or padapuja-style moment. Two people are visible.
