A seated man in rust-orange robes sits on an ornate golden throne with a large gilded backrest and leopard-print cushions. He wears a long gold necklace, a gold belt, rudraksha bracelets and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead, and his right hand rests on the armrest. In front of him a bald young boy in white ritual cloth with a white head wrap kneels or stands while the seated figure places his hand on the boy's head in blessing. An attendant in orange clothing stands at the left edge, holding the boy's shoulder. The setting appears to be a stage or ceremonial hall with a red backdrop.
