A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, a maroon-red turban wrapped with gold and jewelled bands, gold ornaments, a gold necklace, and rudraksha malas on the arms places his right palm on the head of a young boy in white with a rudraksha garland. In his left hand he holds a folded white paper. Behind them, out-of-focus figures in white and cream garments stand near golden carved pillars. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation moment. Swamiji (probable) is the man giving the blessing, identified by the long hair, red turban, gold ornaments and rudraksha malas.
