A seated figure in an orange-red sannyasi robe with a gold-bead and black-bead garland and a bare upper body is having a white-clad devotee bow forward with both hands raised to the head. The devotee wears a white shirt and a red shawl, and is pressing a silver trident-shaped staff against the head of the seated figure. A gold deity murti stands in the background beside a red and white striped backdrop. The setting is an indoor ritual space with a red carpet, consistent with an blessing or darshan moment. The seated figure wears orange robes and a gold garland, and appears to be receiving the blessing from the devotee.
