A photograph taken under an open pavilion with a corrugated roof and bright daylight. A man in a white kurta with an orange-marigold garland stands at a wooden table, reaching toward a silver tray filled with small dark stones or seeds and a small oil lamp. Beside him, a woman in a white garment with an orange garland smiles, and a young woman in a cream sari with a gold border leans in at the right, holding a small object. A woman in an orange top and dark trousers walks at the left edge. A potted plant and a brass vessel sit on the table. Whether the man is a person cannot be established from appearance, so the role is given as a man in white.
