A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits on a red zebra-patterned couch before an ornate gold-leaf throne with carved scrollwork. A bald man in a white shirt bends forward and rests his hands on the seated man's head in a blessing gesture, while the seated man smiles. A gold-trimmed ceremonial belt is visible at his waist. Behind them, a painted backdrop of large trees. At the left edge, several women in white and yellow saris stand nearby, and at the right a young girl in a purple top watches. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person (long swept-back hair, saffron robe, gold ceremonial belt), receiving a devotee's blessing on the stage.
