A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, wearing a leopard-print wrap and a white flower garland, sits on a cream throne-like seat and touches the forehead of a young child in orange clothes, while an attendant in saffron robes holds a steel bowl beside him. Behind them, several saffron-robed men and devotees stand, and a man in saffron with a gold necklace holds his hands together. On the right, a red-and-white tray holds apples, prasad and a small bowl.
