A seated figure in an orange-red turban, orange and gold robes and a heavy gold-beaded necklace reaches to touch the face of a young boy in white dhoti-style clothes with an orange-red shawl printed with script and a rudraksha mala. The boy wears a Kumbh Mela lanyard. Behind them stands a man in orange with a red tilak, holding a small object, and an ornate gold-and-red throne with a golden lion-head armrest fills the left foreground. A red curtain, a brass oil lamp and a standing fan complete the setting. The seated figure has distinctive turban, gold necklace and orange robes, a person cue, with the throne and ritual gesture as context.
