A woman in an orange and pink silk sari holding pink and white flowers faces him, while a man in a cream shirt on the left presses his palms together in greeting. Behind them a white tiled wall shows a wooden doorway decorated with yellow and orange flower strings. The man in the robe is an appearance-based probable Swamiji, identifiable by his long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and garland, and he is physically present. Partially visible children stand at the lower left.
