A seated figure in a rust-red dhoti and draped cloth, wearing a thick gold necklace and gold chain ornaments, presses two fingers to the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl with printed script. The man has his eyes closed and hands raised near his face, as in a blessing or initiation. The seated figure holds a small folded paper or card in the other hand. A bald older man in a red shawl and white garment stands at right, and a woman in white stands behind. Gold cushions and a green plant appear at the left and back, with a large white screen and dark speakers behind.
