A bearded man in a rust-red turban with a jewelled brooch and a small trident-like pin sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion or dragon motifs and a sunburst backrest, draped over a leopard-print cushion. He wears a long gold ceremonial necklace, bracelets, a red-brown shawl over a saffron-toned garment, and a vibhuti band with a red bindi. His hand is raised toward a bare-backed child with shaved head and white thread at the back. A person in white garments stands at the right edge and another with white vibhuti marks is partly visible at lower left. The scene suggests a seated darshan or initiation moment.
