Eight young boys shaved-headed and dressed in saffron-orange robes with maroon borders pose around a black-and-white backdrop displaying a large printed portrait of a smiling man with a white forehead mark. Several boys wear rudraksha malas and white ash tilak markings on their foreheads. In the foreground, a boy in orange cloth touches a dark stone lingam draped in orange cloth, while others hold out open palms or hold garlands of white and red flowers. The setting is a bamboo fence with green leaves. The portrait is a printed image, not a physical person, and no identity is claimed for it.

Behind them a large printed portrait of a smiling young man with a red-and-white garment is displayed on black plastic. Two boys hold white and orange flower garlands, and one gestures toward a black stone shivalinga-like object with offerings and a small brass item in front. The boys seem to be posing for a group photograph beside the portrait and the stone.2013-04-08October 05 20142014-10-05A photograph of a seated group of young boys in saffron-orange robes, many with shaved heads and white vibhuti marks on their foreheads, sitting on a paved floor and listening attentively.
