A young shaved-headed boy in an orange saffron robe with a red-and-gold border sits upright facing the camera. He wears a long rudraksha mala around his neck, a small gold pendant, and small earrings. A broad white vertical tilak runs across his forehead with a red dot at its centre, and white ash marks his arms. Behind him, blurred figures in maroon and red robes sit in a hall, one with hands folded. The boy's expression is calm and serious.
