A seated man in rust-red robes with a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace and a leopard-print headband sits on a silver ornate throne, touching a kneeling young man's forehead with a small ritual item.

A silver-framed throne backdrop and golden temple pillars surround the scene, with a deity murti at the right edge. Appearance suggests a person figure presiding as the seated guru, with the person at his feet receiving blessing.
