Indoor photo in a hall with a white ceiling, recessed lights and ceiling fan. A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair wears a red-and-white floral garland, gold armlets and bracelets, and a brown-and-gold striped dhoti. He places his hand on the arm of a young boy in a red sports jersey and orange shorts with a white cast on one leg, held by a man in a white checked shirt. Around them stand men in plaid and grey shirts watching, and a woman in a pink saree is at left, with a metal stanchion and chain in the foreground. The bare-chested man with the garland and gold ornaments is a person in person, presented as a sannyasi giving blessing to the child.
