A seated man in a white turban and white embroidered-looking long kurta, adorned with a white flower garland and a red floral sash, places his hand on the head of a younger man bending forward in a white collared shirt with a yellow lanyard ID badge and a dark beaded mala. The seated figure sits on a red striped cushioned throne in front of a gold-and-red decorated backdrop with a gilded deity murti at upper right, orange marigolds and a brass vessel nearby. Appears to be a blessing or darshan moment.
