A bearded man in a rust-brown robe sits before a gilded shrine, wearing a thick pink and white flower garland and a brown rudraksha-style cord over his shoulders, with a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead. He smiles while extending his arm toward a young boy in a white shirt at the left edge, who is touching or reaching toward him. Behind them, a golden deity murti and yellow drapery frame the scene, with a white cushioned seat and brass lamp stand on the right and green plants at the lower right. Appearance-based label: a person, seated in a ceremonial role with the boy receiving his blessing; the figure's cues are the garland, bindi and ochre robe, but the face and presentation remain only moderately clear.
