A seated man in an orange-red robe and a pink flower garland touches the forehead of a younger man in a white kurta with an orange shawl, who has his palms pressed together in respect. The seated man holds a silver trident and wears a leopard-print cloth; a peacock feather fan and gold vessels with ornate handles sit beside him, and a red-cushioned chair and framed artwork appear in the background. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive ceremonial garments, matching the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, shown giving blessing to a devotee in an indoor ceremonial setting.
