A seated man in orange robes with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala places his hand on the head of a devotee in white kurta who bows forward with palms together. Behind them a young attendant in orange holds a card, another in white and yellow stands by a table with flowers and offerings, and a digital clock reads 3:19. In the lower left, a partially visible woman sits in the foreground. Items such as booklets and framed pictures are on the right. The orange-robed figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji, seated with a rudraksha mala and long hair, blessing a devotee during what appears to be a darshan.
