A photograph of a shaved-headed young boy in an orange and maroon sannyasi-style cloth, with a long rudraksha mala and a white vibhuti band with a red dot on his forehead. His eyes are closed and his palms are raised with fingers spread, as if in chanting or prayer. Behind him, several other young boys in maroon cloths and white forehead bands sit and chant or gesture similarly, one with hands folded at the right.
