A seated figure in an orange-red robe and a garland of yellow and red flowers, with rudraksha beads and gold bracelets, places both hands on the head of a bald man in a white shirt with an orange sash, who kneels with his head bowed. Beside them a woman in a pink top holds a toddler in white clothes, and a woman in blue salwar kameez stands in the background among golden deity murti and brass lamps. The setting suggests a blessing ritual in a temple hall.
