In the foreground a figure in an orange saffron robe sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a woven mat, a small brass pot with a spout set before them, inside a circular bed of grey ash-like stones with a decorated rangoli-style border. The figure has long dark hair and a dark malas-style necklace. Behind them, a group of about a dozen seated people in white clothes and some in casual shirts sit on mats facing the figure. A white van, a palm-lined backdrop, and an orange building with a tiled roof frame the scene.
