A young boy with white vibhuti ash marks on his forehead and arms and a red kumkum dot sits cross-legged on a red velvet-covered seat. He wears a white dhoti-style cloth with orange borders draped over his shoulder and a thin cord around his neck. Behind him are a red zebra-patterned cushion, an orange towel, and a vase of yellow flowers on a gold-toned ledge, with strands of rudraksha or prayer beads visible at right. The setting suggests an ashram satsang hall. No adult is visible in the frame.
