A seated man in an ornate golden-gilded interior blesses a kneeling boy by placing his right hand on the boy's head. The seated man wears a red and gold saffron-toned dhoti and shawl, a tall gold-toned multi-strand rudraksha-style mala necklace, and a white tripundra mark on his forehead; his hair is swept back. He sits on a red velvet throne-like seat. The boy, in a blue short-sleeved shirt, bows with his head lowered. Behind them are gilded carvings, brass oil lamps, a silver staff and a gold lion-like figure. Another person in white stands at the right edge. Blessing a devotee on the head suggests a darshan moment.
