A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long, swept-back dark hair places his hand on the head of a young boy in a striped shirt during a darshan-style blessing on a white-draped seat. Two devotees stand to the side: a younger man in an orange robe with a red shawl and a rudraksha mala, and a woman in white with a yellow shawl holding a book. A bouquet of pink flowers sits on a table behind them. In the foreground are a plate of fruit and sweets, a small stack of printed booklets, and a tray of puja items. Red and gold drapery and a trident hang in the background. The leader's hair and saffron robe are the distinguishing cues for a person presence.
