A seated man in an orange-red garment with rudraksha malas and a gold necklace rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in white kneeling before him on a red throne. The throne has gold lion-head armrests, and a peacock-feather fan and a silver staff stand nearby. Behind, a gilded ornate chair and a framed textile panel decorate the hall, and another woman with a dark bun and white clothing is partly visible on the right. The man's appearance with long swept-back hair, orange clothing, and ornate adornments matches the Swamiji (probable) description, and he is giving blessing to the boy in a darshan setting. Another child is partially visible at lower right.
