Children stand around it in orange, red and yellow silk outfits; a bare-chested boy in white dhoti with a gold border stands at left, and a small child in orange is held at the upper right. Plates of fruit, red bell peppers and a yellow sweet in a leaf sit in the foreground beside a brass bowl. Five children are physically present in the scene.
