A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban holds a sleeping infant in a yellow outfit on his lap, cradling the baby while leaning in to look at it. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders, and a rudraksha mala is draped over the robes. He sits on a red cushioned seat. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand behind, one in navy trousers and another wearing a lanyard. A candid, indoor setting with a tiled floor. Whether the seated man is a person cannot be established from appearance alone, so the identity is marked unsure.
