A seated man in rust-red ochre robes and a thick rudraksha mala with a bun and red hair band places his right hand on the forehead of a man in a white collared shirt with an orange lanyard and ID badge, who has white tilak marks on his forehead. Gold-coloured cloth and a golden ceremonial cushion are visible at the lower left, and a dark speaker stands in the background. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, a probable identification based on his bun, rudraksha mala and ochre robes, while the standing man receives a blessing.
