A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes, with a red tilak on his forehead and a gold pendant necklace, sits smiling and guides a small boy in a white kurta and rudraksha mala as the child pours rice from a large silver bowl. Behind them, several people in orange robes and white garments stand, one holding a microphone, and a woman in a white saree with a dark mala watches. The bowl rests on a red patterned mat beside a decorated orange-and-yellow item.
