A seated man in an ornate golden throne with a red cushion places his right hand on the head of a young boy who stands before him. The seated figure wears a brown-orange saffron-toned shawl, layered garlands of red and white flowers, rudraksha beads on both wrists and a necklace, with a white tilak on his forehead and a long dark beard. The boy is bare-chested with a white cloth around his waist and a thin white cord across his back, his head bowed. Behind them stands a silver trident and a second figure partly visible at the left edge, with a dark background of foliage and red draped fabric. The seated figure appears to be the a person, given the saffron-toned robes, rudraksha beads and flower garlands, and the act of giving a blessing to the boy on a throne.
