A seated man in rust-red robes, rudraksha malas, a gold necklace, a leopard-print turban and a bead bracelet sits on a magenta cushioned seat, placing his hand on the head of a boy. The boy wears a white dhoti and is bare-chested, with a white thread across his shoulder. A woman in an orange wrap and white markings on her arms and shoulders holds the boy's arm and steadies him.
