He sits before a white draped backdrop with dark red curtains.

Another white-clothed figure is partially visible at the lower right edge.

A clean-shaven-headed man in a white shirt, with a bearded face and rudraksha mala, bows forward with hands clasped to his face while a man in a orange-saffron robe with a multicolour marigold, rose and leaf garland and a rudraksha mala places his hand on his head in blessing.
