A standing figure in orange-brown robes with a yellow sash, long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala presses his forehead to the seated man's head while resting a hand on his chest, a gesture of blessing. Behind them a bald man in orange robes stands at the left edge. Three people are visible.2013-05-14A standing man in saffron-orange robes with a yellow sash and a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders stands beside a seated man in a wheelchair.

The seated man wears a pink-and-white striped polo shirt and navy trousers, his hands clasped in front of him. Behind them stand red velvet drapes and an ornate gold-trimmed throne.
