In the foreground a young girl in orange robes with red tilak and a rudraksha-style garland sits on a red velvet seat, and another young person in orange sits beside her. A young man in a white shirt and white dhoti sits cross-legged reading a booklet. Standing behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts, a woman in a white sari with a red border, and boys in white hold pink papers and move through the space.
