A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-red robe and a gold-bead necklace, with a white tilak on his forehead, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and a red-and-gold patterned shawl. Behind them are gold lion-head ornaments, a silver ceremonial staff with a round finial, a peacock-feather fan at left, and a red cushioned seat. The seated figure shows distinctive ceremonial adornments, a long swept-back hairstyle and the bare-chested saffron attire, so he is a person giving a blessing in a seated darshan setting. The devotee kneels with hands raised in a gesture of reverence. Two people are visible.
