A seated figure in a red-orange turban with a white feather ornament and an orange-gold sash over a saffron garment, wearing layered rudraksha-style beaded malas, extends the right hand to touch the forehead of an older man with white hair who stands with palms joined in anjali, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and an orange-red shawl. The setting is an indoor hall with a red-and-gold deity murti and framed picture in the background, and a few seated attendees in the blurred background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long braided hair under the turban, saffron-orange robes and multiple beaded malas, which are compatible cues.
