A man seated on a red throne with gold ornamentation behind him, wearing an orange saffron-coloured dhoti and shawl, long strands of white jasmine garlands and thick gold bead necklaces, with a white vertical tilak and a red dot on his forehead. He is holding a newborn baby wrapped in a pale yellow blanket printed with small bear motifs, looking down at the baby while smiling. A woman with grey hair in a dark top leans in from the right edge of the frame. A probable Swamiji is present, identified by the swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style garlands and gold necklaces, with the seated man holding the infant as the central figure.

The scene appears to be a blessing or naming-type gathering inside a room with draped curtains.2014-08-06A seated man in an orange-saffron garment wears a long white flower garland and a rudraksha mala, with a white sandal-paste tilak on his forehead.

A second person's hand appears at the right edge.

A white tilak with a red dot marks his forehead. He leans forward, looking down at two swaddled newborn babies in white cloth on his lap.

The figure wears a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap, a beaded rudraksha-style necklace, and a white horizontal tilak mark on the forehead, and bends to look at two newborn babies lying on his lap, one wrapped in a pink-patterned white blanket and another in white cloth.
