A photograph of a seated man in a rust-brown dhoti-style cloth with gold borders and a red-and-white flower garland, with yellow sandalwood paste marking his forehead, seated on a red cushioned throne before ornate gold carvings and a gold parasol. He places one hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt, who bows with his hands near a brass vessel on a tray. Gold poles and a golden umbrella stand in the background. The scene reads as a blessing or darshan. Whether the seated man is a person cannot be established from appearance, so the seated figure is described by role only.
