A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a leopard-print wrap, sits on a throne-like chair with gold-embellished back, gesturing toward a young boy in saffron-orange robes with gold border and a rudraksha mala. Behind the boy, a woman in white with a red shawl assists by adjusting his garment, and another woman in maroon-red robes with a rudraksha mala covers her mouth. A silver trident stands in the background before a maroon draped backdrop with gold and beaded garlands, and green plants frame the scene.
