A seated man in a light silver-grey turban with a red bindi and a red-brown sleeveless robe, layered with rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial necklace, smiles and gestures with one hand while holding a small child in red-orange traditional clothes on his lap. The child holds a red apple and wears a gold chain. Brass oil lamps, a small silver deity murti, and a potted green plant sit on the left; a monastic in orange robes with rudraksha beads sits at the right edge, looking down. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a turban, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, and the page names Swamiji at this event, so the identification is appearance-based only.
