A large group of young boys and a few young men pose outdoors on blue cushions and a striped mat, with a tall cut-out or printed figure seated in the centre. The seated figure wears a pink turban, pink robe, a large garland of yellow flowers and a gold necklace, with a sitting posture on a patterned seat. Many boys have white forehead markings, rudraksha-style necklaces, and wear orange-red or white dhoti-style cloths; several are bare-chested and some raise hands in greeting. Behind them stand golden open-framed domed structures and tall wooden poles in a open ground with trees.
