A seated man in a red and gold embroidered robe and cream turban places his hand on the forehead of a man in white kurta with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved lion-armrest and yellow marigold garlands, with a gold relief panel behind. A younger man in an orange kurta stands at left with a rudraksha mala. A probable Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in red and gold, with long swept-back hair, a cream turban and ornate robes, presiding over the blessing; the white-clad man receiving the blessing is a devotee and does not meet the appearance cues.
