A man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead, wearing a rust-orange shawl over a bare shoulder and a small gold pendant, places his right hand on the head of a young boy seated in front of him. The boy, in a dark outfit with an orange shawl printed with text, keeps his eyes closed. Behind them stand a golden ornate shrine panel and a golden stand, and a second person in an orange robe appears blurred at left. The scene suggests a blessing being given. The man's long hair and distinctive ornaments match the page's reference to a person, so he is a probable candidate.
