A woman in a rust-red saree with a wide gold border sits in the foreground, eyes lowered, holding a small cup and a stick-like spoon or wick to her lips as if taking a ritual sip. She wears a long dark rudraksha mala with silver spacer beads, gold hoop earrings, a nose stud, a white vertical tilak with a red kumkum dot on her forehead, and a bangle on her wrist. Behind her, blurred figures in orange and red sarees sit on a green mat in a hall.
