A seated man with long dark hair, bare-chested with a brown leopard-print wrap and a rudraksha-style brown mala across his shoulders, smiles as he reaches out to touch the forehead of a young boy in a white shirt with a red shawl and glasses. The boy raises his hand in response. Behind them stand a silver trident, a throne with ornate gold-toned backrest, gold garlands on a display, and attendants in white and red. Green foliage frames the scene.

Appearance-based label: a person, seated and blessing the boy; the other people are a boy receiving blessing and a woman devotee.2014-12-26A long-haired man with a swept-back mane, bare-shouldered in a dark red wrap with a leopard-print shawl, sits on a low seat raising his right hand to the forehead of a smiling young boy. The boy wears a pale green kurta, a red shawl and a rudraksha mala, with a white forehead mark, and raises his left palm. A golden trident stands beside them in front of a maroon cloth draped with gold garlands and ornaments, with green plants at left and a white-clad attendant seated behind. Two physical people are the main figures; the trident and garlands are ritual objects.

The boy holds his hand up in greeting. A woman in white and red beads sits behind them, and a golden trident and ornate gold-and-green garlands hang on a draped altar in the background.
