A man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and an orange-robed wrap with gold-bordered cloth, wearing a white and red flower garland, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and bead bangles, reaches out to lay his hand on the head of a shaven-headed boy in orange robes. Several other orange-clad children and women stand behind, some with white tilak marks, and an orange cloth bundle is held near the boy. The setting is an indoor hall with red curtains.
