A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long orange shawl, with a rudraksha mala draped over his chest and a red tilak on his forehead, smiles while placing his hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a yellow striped shirt with an orange lanyard, who bows forward with hands joined. Behind them stands a tall silver trident and a golden deity mask at left, with a peacock-feather fan, red cushions and a red curtain in the background. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and ceremonial adornments consistent with a person, in a darshan blessing role.
