A seated man in a cream shirt with an orange cord around his neck sits in a metal-framed chair with eyes closed, his forehead touching that of a standing figure in a yellow-and-black tiger-stripe garment with a wide rudraksha-bead sash and long rudraksha malas hanging to the waist. The standing figure leans in with one hand on the seated man's shoulder, a bond-like blessing gesture. Behind them a large gold-toned decorated panel with ornate relief stands, and red cloths and offerings are visible at the lower edge. The standing figure's long hair is tied up with a white ribbon; the figure's presentation is not clearly identifiable as a person, so role descriptions are used.
