A seated man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange sleeveless garment and raises his right hand while touching the crown of the head of an older bald man in a white kurta. The orange-clad figure sits on a gold-trimmed, tufted throne-like seat with a red cushion. Behind them, a large hall with white draped fabric and maroon bunting holds rows of seated devotees in white and orange clothing on mats. A woman in a beige shawl stands at left. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation moment. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing on a throne.
