A man with long dark hair wears an orange sleeveless top with rudraksha malas and places his right hand on the head of a bowed man who holds a small child in white. Beside them a monk in orange drape stands, and a man in red shirt and glasses watches. Seated devotees in white, one with a rudraksha mala, sit near a table with leaflets and books in the foreground, a red curtain and a fan behind.
