A young shaved-headed child in orange saffron robes and a rudraksha mala holds a small brass oil lamp with a lit flame in both hands, bringing it close to his face in a dim hall. A red tilak mark is on his forehead and a white ash line runs across his brow. Blurred figures and a steel cup with a spoon sit in the foreground, with more brass lamps glowing in the background. The scene reads as a temple or satsang ritual of lamp offering.
