A photograph of two young boys seated closely together indoors in a blurred hall with people in white behind them. The boy on the right wears thin rectangular glasses, a vertical tilak on his forehead, multiple rudraksha mala strands across his bare chest, a pendant necklace, and an orange-saffron cloth around his waist, plus rudraksha bracelets on both wrists. He opens his mouth while the boy on the left, who is bare-chested with a rudraksha mala and bracelets, feeds him a small yellowish food item with his fingers, while holding more of it in his other hand. Another bare-chested figure in white dhoti with gold borders stands at the left edge.
