A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange sleeveless robe with a long silver-chain mala draped over the chest, dark hair in a bun and a white forehead mark, leaning down toward a newborn wrapped in a peach blanket printed with cartoon animals. The figure rests one hand on the baby's head and touches its own chin with the other. The baby, lying on a white cloth, has eyes closed and mouth open. Behind them are red and gold cushions and a gold-embossed backrest. Only one physical person is clearly visible, plus the infant, which is also a person.2014-07-08A photograph of a seated person in a rust-orange sleeveless robe and a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace, hair tied in a bun with a white forehead marking, bending over a swaddled newborn in an orange and pink patterned blanket.

His hands cradle the baby on his lap. A gold-tinted cushion and a gold lion-head ornament are visible beside the throne, with a maroon velvet curtain behind. A second person's hand appears at the right edge.

He sits on a gold-carved throne with red-and-orange cushions and a deep red velvet backdrop behind him. A pair of hands from another person supports one of the babies at the lower right.

The figure wears a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap, a beaded rudraksha-style necklace, and a white horizontal tilak mark on the forehead, and bends to look at two newborn babies lying on his lap, one wrapped in a pink-patterned white blanket and another in white cloth. An orange towel rests on the cushion, a white pedestal fan sits at right, and red velvet drapes hang behind. Two people appear in the scene: the seated figure and the babies, counted as a single physical scene of about two adults and infants; the seated figure is an appearance-based a person with long swept hair, orange wrap, and rudraksha beads.2014-07-08
