A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala places his right hand on the head of a kneeling woman in a white blouse and purple skirt, who looks up at him with hands folded. He holds a folded paper in his other hand. Behind him, two young men in white shirts with orange shawls stand, and a man in white shirt and glasses sits at left beside a bald man in saffron with a tilak. A white-draped throne-like seat, a brass trident finial at right, and a digital clock on the table complete the scene. Several people are visible at the edges. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, and is blessing the devotee in a darshan setting.
