A seated figure in pink and magenta robes, wearing a saffron-and-pink turban, a white jasmine garland and a rudraksha-style bead bracelet, extends a hand in blessing on the head of a woman bowing before him. She wears a red bandhani sari with a white-and-yellow patterned border and a blue cloth on her arms. Before them is a woven basket of red apples on a blue cloth. Behind is a large orange painted backdrop of a figure, a gold throne edge on the right, and onlookers in the background including a woman in a light blue sari. The scene looks like a blessing or darshan exchange, with the seated figure's appearance consistent with a person receiving devotees, a ceremonial gold throne and saffron-coloured backdrop indicating a formal setting.

His arms are adorned with bands, and the throne is covered in crimson velvet with gold carved trim. A large orange banner portrait stands behind, and a woman in a cream sari and orange shawl watches from the left. A flower garland lies on the throne base. The scene reads as a devotee offering fruit to a seated teacher, with the seated figure matching the a person cues of a turban, ornate gold-and-pink attire, garlands and a throne, so the appearance-based identification is at least plausible.2011-11-27July 19 20152015-07-19 +1 copiesA seated man in a golden ornate throne receives a folded blue cloth from a bowing woman in a red patterned shawl.
