A seated person in orange-brown robes with long dark hair pulled back wears a red beaded garland with gold accents and gold bangles. Their hands extend to a kneeling man in a white polo shirt with a small badge and a rudraksha-style mala, who holds a folded white paper or card. Behind them, several women in white, orange and yellow saris with red shawls and beaded malas sit and stand in a bright room, with a wall air-conditioner and a window visible. An orange towel rests on the red seat in the foreground. Appearance is consistent with a person seated receiving the kneeling devotee, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
