A woman in an orange blouse and cream sari with a red-orange border kneels beside him, holding a white towel and touching his foot while he rests his hand on his knee. A man in a white shirt and grey trousers with a black belt stands behind them. On the lower left, a wooden tray holds apples, sweets, small jars and a string of rudraksha beads, and a second person's bangled arm reaches toward it.
