A seated man in a rust-red dhoti and wrap with a gold-bordered edge sits in an orange leather armchair, holding a small brown carved figure in his hands and working on it with a thin stick or tool. He wears a long necklace of golden beads with dark rudraksha-like spheres, has a white horizontal tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and looks down with a faint smile. Behind him a second person in rust-red robes stands holding a red cloth. A green tinsel garland with purple bows hangs on the right, and the floor is orange.

A seated person in a brown-orange robe, wearing a yellow and red flower garland, gold necklaces, gold bangles and an armband, with a tilak on the forehead and hair in a bun, smiles and extends a hand.
