A seated figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a multi-strand orange rudraksha mala with gold bead ornaments and long swept-back dark hair, places his right palm on the forehead of a man in a white shirt with a red-orange shawl draped over his shoulders. The man holds his hands to his temples with a wristwatch visible. The seated figure holds a small white card in his left hand. Behind them are two white air coolers, a window and a standing man in a blue t-shirt with a lanyard. The gesture appears to be a blessing, consistent with a person depiction of an in-person blessing, with the blessed man a devotee.
