A young boy with shoulder-length dark hair stands in the foreground wearing an orange-saffron dhoti with gold border and bare chest, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace. White sacred ash marks are on his forehead and upper arm. He holds his hands in front of him in a mudra-like gesture. Behind him, a tiered red stone amphitheatre is filled with seated people in white and colourful clothing, with small black stone lingam-like shrines or pillars along the steps. The setting appears to be an outdoor ritual gathering. The boy's appearance does not clearly match the a person cues, so he is described by role only.
