A young boy sits cross-legged on a white marble floor performing puja. He wears an orange saffron cloth wrapped around his waist and draped over his bare chest, with a rudraksha mala of brown beads and a pendant necklace. White sacred ash marks show on his arms and chest. His hands are joined in mudra in front of a red velvet mat with gold border, on which sit brass puja items: a conch shell, a brass plate, small brass cups, a bell, a brass lamp, a small brass vessel with spoon, and a brass plate holding a crystal lingam.
