A young boy with a shaved head sits with eyes closed and mouth slightly open in chanting, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and a long strand of rudraksha beads across his chest. A white vertical mark and red kumkum dot adorn his forehead, and white ash stripes mark his upper arm. He holds a small brass spoon in one hand and rests the other in his lap. Behind him, an older man in orange with rudraksha beads and white forehead marks sits with palms pressed together in prayer, and brass vessels are visible at the lower edge.
