A photograph of a shaved-headed young boy seated cross-legged with eyes closed, chanting with mouth open and palms pressed together at his chest. He wears orange saffron robes with red borders and a long rudraksha mala with gold spacers, a white vibhuti line and red bindi on his forehead, and small earrings. Behind him, other boys in orange and red robes sit on the floor, one holding a clear water bottle and a plate of sweets. Brass plates hold pink and red flowers in the foreground, in an indoor hall with red curtains and fluorescent lights.
