A smiling young boy in a brown and beige checked school uniform with a brown skirt sits on the floor holding a copper pot. He wears a white sandalwood paste mark and red bindi on his forehead and a red-and-white lanyard around his neck. Before him on a brass tray are a small bronze figure of a standing deity, a dark stone figure, and small brass cups. Behind him a wall-mounted printed portrait shows a smiling figure in an orange turban and orange robe, wearing a gold-beaded necklace and a long garland of red and white flowers, holding a trident. In front of the portrait stand a tall brass lamp and two small lit oil lamps. The boy is a child, not the figure in the portrait.
