Gold trays with pink flower petals sit on the floor in front. Behind them, several women in white and cream saris and a younger woman in a yellow blouse stand and move through the room. A wall hanging of green paper leaves hangs by the window at left, and a brass wall lamp is mounted above. A partial figure in orange stands at the right edge.
