A seated man with swept-back dark hair and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead rests his right hand on the forehead of a young girl in a white top with a pink print, who kneels with her palms pressed together. He wears a rust-red and saffron-toned cloth over bare shoulders, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and copper-coloured bangles, and a gold lion-headed armrest sits beside him. Behind them, a man in white ritual dress holds a small vessel, a boy in a white shirt stands with a beaded necklace, and women in saffron, orange and white saris watch from the side. Red drapes hang in the background, and a white pedestal fan stands to the left. The scene suggests a blessing exchange in a satsang-style hall.
