A young boy with short dark hair and black-framed glasses sits behind a table with his palms pressed together in namaste. He wears a white dhoti-style cloth with a gold border over one shoulder and a rudraksha mala around his neck. In front of him are many polished silver bowls and plates holding offerings, with a few red flowers and small items arranged among them.

He wears a rudraksha mala and a small pendant on a cord, and a white vertical mark (vibhuti) is applied on his forehead. An adult's hand, wearing a red thread bracelet, is placed on the boy's head in blessing. Behind him stands a person in an orange-brown robe, and at the right edge a figure wears a pink-and-white floral garland. The setting suggests an initiation or blessing ritual, possibly Bautika Brahmacharya initiation.2017-05-09December 16 20112011-12-16Close photo of a devotee in white dhoti and upper cloth with red-pink borders, hands pressed together in anjali mudra, eyes lowered, with a white tilak and red kumkum dot on the forehead and a dark rudraksha mala at the neck.
