In the centre, a smiling boy with long dark hair wears an orange shawl, a rudraksha mala and a small pendant on a white beaded chain, with white and red tilak marks on his forehead. Around him, other young men and a girl also wear rudraksha malas and forehead markings, and a black tripod-like metal stand is visible at left. The setting appears to be an event with a dense gathering. The boy is not clearly identifiable as a person, so the figure is described by role only.2018-05-24November 16 20152015-11-16Close photo of a smiling young girl in the foreground wearing an orange turban, rudraksha beads on her wrist and neck, and white horizontal ash lines with a red bindi on her forehead.
