On the right, a man with a white tilak on his forehead, a dark-haired head, and multiple rudraksha mala necklaces over an orange-red shawl with gold trim, places his right hand on the forehead of a long-haired, bearded man on the left wearing a white shirt and an orange-red shawl. The bearded man has his eyes closed and his palm raised in a gesture of receiving. Two more people with their heads bowed sit blurred in the background, and a gold ceremonial vessel is visible at lower right. The setting is a softly lit hall with a wood-panelled wall.
