A seated man in a rust-brown and gold-bordered draped robe, with long swept-back dark hair and a heavy gold-toned necklace, smiles as he places his right palm on the forehead of a short-haired devotee in a salmon-pink t-shirt. The devotee holds his hands up, palms forward, and a white garland drapes over his head. Behind them stands a deity murti decorated with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands, a gold-toned vessel sits in front, and orange and gold draped cloth hangs on the wall. A red tiger-striped cushioned seat is at the left edge, and a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala appears at the far right. This appears to be a blessing or darshan moment during a satsang-style gathering.
