A figure in a rust-red turban with a white plume and jewelled ornament, wearing a saffron-orange garment and a long rudraksha-style bead mala with a gold necklace, places his right hand on the head of a seated man. The man wears a white shirt and a red-and-orange patterned shawl and has his eyes closed.
