A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne receiving a small boy in orange robes who stands before him. The seated man wears saffron-orange drapery over a bare chest, a long rudraksha mala with large beads, and has long swept-back hair. He extends his right hand toward the boy, who has a shaved head, a white forehead marking, a rudraksha mala and orange cloth wrapped around his body, and holds a small lit lamp in clasped hands. Brass plates with leaves and offerings sit on the low gold platform in front, and a white pedestal fan stands at left beside a striped green mat. Appearance suggests the seated man may be a person, but identity is uncertain.
