A seated figure in an orange-red robe with long dark hair tied back and a rudraksha-style bead near the neck reaches forward with an open palm, touching the raised hands of a bald man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl who bows his head forward. A tall silver staff and an ornate gold peacock-feather-decorated seat or throne, with gold lion-head carvings, frame the scene in a warm indoor hall. The bowing man's hands press together at his forehead in an act of blessing or pranam. Text in the corner shows a purple bird logo and small copyright lines.
