A seated figure in a rust-red turban with gold trim and a saffron-brown wrap, wearing a beaded rudraksha-style mala, places his right hand on the forehead of a man in a white kurta who kneels before him. Red cushioned seating and a red curtain frame the scene. Behind them, several men in white shirts stand in a room with a wall-mounted air conditioner and a ceiling fan. The seated figure has a Swamiji (probable) appearance: distinctive turban, ornate saffron-toned clothing and beaded malas, and is giving a blessing to the kneeling devotee.
