A seated figure in a rust-orange turban and orange-brown robe, wearing a white jasmine garland, rudraksha mala beads and bangles, sits on a red tiger-print cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold carved backdrop. A man in a red vest over a light blue shirt bends forward with palms joined, while the seated figure places a hand on his forehead in blessing. Behind them, women in white and cream saris with orange borders and beaded necklaces stand watching. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by the turban, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland; the devotee receiving blessing is a man in a red vest.
