A young boy in white kurta and pants stands before them, holding a small bouquet, while a kneeling person in white is touching the boy's back. Behind them, a man in an orange robe with a gold necklace holds a tray, and several saffron-robed attendants stand at left. A brass oil lamp, a silver tray of fruit and a white decorative vessel sit on an orange-draped table at right, in a marble-floored interior with carved wooden doors.
