What is the narrator point of view in the novel, Swami and Friends?

Swami and Friends is told through a third-person perspective, and focuses mainly on the point of view of Swami, who is the protagonist and titular character. However, the narrative sometimes shifts for brief periods of time to other characters, including Swami’s friends, his father, or other random adults around him. At times when Swami is incapacitated, such as when he falls ill after being lost, the narrative is taken over entirely by other characters, like Ranga the coachman or Rajam.
