A young boy in a white and pale patterned kurta and white trousers stands beside a large black stone statue under a white carved stone arch, shaded by leafy trees. The statue, a standing sage-like figure, wears an orange saffron cloth draped over its shoulders and a folded orange-and-red headwrap, with a rudraksha mala and a garland of red, yellow and purple flowers hanging from the neck and shoulders. The boy raises his right hand to his forehead in a salute. The setting is an outdoor garden with bare earth and green grass. The statue is a depiction, not a living person, and the boy is the only physical person visible.
