A smiling man in an orange-red turban, orange-saffron robes and a long orange-beaded mala sits in a large brown leather chair and places his right hand on the head of a young boy in a white kurta with an orange shawl. The boy holds a purple plush toy. Beside them a woman with her hair in a bun sits on the floor in the foreground, and a brass trident stands behind the chair. Devotees in white and orange clothing sit on white floor mats in the background, with a kalasha-like altar and a lit oil lamp visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a red-orange turban, saffron robes, a long beaded mala and sits on a throne-like chair while blessing the boy.
