A young boy with a shaved head and a white-and-vertical tilak mark on his forehead sits cross-legged on a mat, wearing saffron-orange sannyasi-style robes with a maroon-and-gold border at the waist. He wears a long rudraksha mala with gold spacer beads draped over one shoulder and a small pendant on his chest. He gestures with his hands while speaking, with a green banana-leaf meal in front of him holding rice, dal, fried snacks and chutney, and white paper cups nearby. A saffron-draped deity murti with gold ornaments is visible behind him in a temple hall. Several other banana-leaf meals are laid out on the floor behind him.
