A man seated on a golden throne-like chair, bare-shouldered in an orange-red garment with a red flower garland and a white tripundra mark on his forehead, extends his right arm to place his palm on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt. A silver staff with a ornate top stands beside them. A girl in a yellow dress and a woman in white watch nearby. The setting is a warm-lit room with red curtains, bamboo panels and a gold carved backdrop. Probable Swamiji: the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing and a flower garland, presented as a blessing giver.
