A seated figure in an orange-red turban, orange-and-gold shawl and a thick red and turquoise bead garland places a hand on the head of a standing devotee. The devotee wears a white shirt and white head cloth, a rudraksha mala, and a gold bracelet, and bows forward. Two other men in orange and white stand beside them, and a gold deity murti and a red-cushioned seat are visible. The seated figure shows distinctive adornments and a turban, a probable match for a person giving blessing to a devotee, but the appearance is uncertain. Dark background with an ashram-style setting.
