A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, white forehead markings, a yellow and orange flower garland, a rudraksha-style mala and a saffron-orange dhoti-like wrap raises his hand in blessing over a man's head. A tall man in a blue-and-white striped shirt holds a baby in a pink outfit, and a woman in a teal printed top and glasses stands at left. A tray of sweets is visible at lower right, and other devotees in white stand behind.
