A photograph of a young boy with wet, slicked-back dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead, reclining on a blue and gold brocade cloth, extending one hand toward a plate of green leaves. Behind him, a second child in a grey striped kurta with gold trim sits with his back turned. At the right edge, a standing adult in a white and grey dhoti-style garment holds a silver ladle over a metal vessel. A silver-toned ornate shrine piece and gold-coloured cabinetry sit in the background. No visible person matches the a person depiction, so no candidate is identified.
