A seated man in a maroon robe and rudraksha mala, with a white tilak and a swept-up dark hair bun, smiles while placing his hand on the forehead of a standing older man.

Behind them stand a woman in white with a red lanyard and a gold ornate throne-like backdrop with floral decorations. The setting appears to be a ritual blessing or initiation at an indoor event.
