A seated long-haired figure in an orange-brown robe with a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulders reaches out to touch the forehead of a standing devotee in a white shirt with an orange lanyard, who has his palms pressed together. The seated figure sits on a maroon cushioned seat with an orange cloth beside it, and a tray of sweets lies at the lower left. Behind them, other devotees in white dhotis and orange or red shawls watch, one holding a rudraksha mala, with a red curtain and a white air conditioner in the background.
