A seated figure in orange robes and a white jasmine garland with a red, green and blue ribbon reaches forward to hand an object to a woman in a magenta and yellow sari with orange-gold border. Four other people stand on a red patterned carpet in a yellow-walled room: two men in white shirts with dark beads or pendants, a young man in a light blue t-shirt and blue jeans, and a man in a white shirt and cream dhoti, all with hands held out or cupped. A cushioned orange chair sits at left, a green-tiled doorway and red doors behind, and flower petals lie on the floor at the bottom. The seated robed figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
