Two men in a gold-decorated setting perform a blessing ritual. On the left, a man in an orange-saffron garment with swept-back dark hair, a gold ceremonial necklace, and rudraksha bands bows his head forward. On the right, a bald, bare-chested older man in an orange lower cloth, rudraksha mala and white vibhuti marks on his forehead and shoulders presses his hands to the bowed man's head and face. Behind them are ornate gold throne-like seats and carved gold lion-form details, with a standing figure partly visible in the background.
