A seated man in an orange saffron garment with a long rudraksha mala and a long swept-back dark hair raises his hand to touch the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta and orange shawl, who has his hands folded in front of him. The seated man is on a red and maroon tiger-striped cushioned seat in front of a golden throne-like backdrop decorated with red and white flower garlands. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a brass tray with offerings, and a golden cobra-hooded structure garlanded with red, yellow and green flowers stand nearby. A third person is partly visible in a doorway in the background wearing white. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in orange with long hair and rudraksha beads, performing a blessing on a devotee.
