Indoor photograph in a dim room at an event. A seated figure with long dark swept-back hair wears a cream brocade kurta with gold trim over a white dhoti and white shawl edged in gold, and gestures with both hands toward a small child in a blue knit sweater. A man in a green striped polo shirt and glasses stands behind the child. On the right, a hand holds a gold-rimmed brass cup. Behind them stand a bouquet of white calla lilies and red and white roses and an orange and green draped cloth. A brass plate is visible near the child. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, though the face is not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.
