A seated man with swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a red-orange shawl printed with script, wearing a brown garment and gold trim, smiles while placing his right hand on the crown of a kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti, who holds his palm together in namaskar. Behind them a woman in an orange sari and ornate necklace stands near a deep red curtain, with a garland of yellow, white and purple flowers at the right edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and orange garb, so this is a person appearance-based candidate giving a blessing to a devotee.
