A seated figure in an orange-brown garment with a long orange-brown rudraksha-style mala and long dark hair extends a bare arm to place a hand on the head of a young boy kneeling before him with palms pressed together. The figure sits on a red cushioned seat. Behind them, a shaved-headed man with white tilak marks and orange cloth stands, and several boys in white t-shirts and blue lanyards lean in with hands together. A woman in a patterned top stands at the right edge. The setting appears to be an indoor hall during a blessing or initiation moment.
