A young boy with short dark hair sits cross-legged on a red-draped stage in front of a flower-decked throne with carved lion-faced armrests. He wears a white dhoti and shawl with red-bordered edges and plays small brass cymbals or bells on a tray. Behind him, a framed painting shows a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a white ceremonial necklace, against a red backdrop. Tall brass oil lamps garlanded with white flowers stand at each side, and a microphone stands in front of him.
