Two men in white dhotis, one with an orange shawl, stand at left, and a woman in a white sari kneels at right on a white cloth scattered with yellow and orange petals. Yellow and white flower garlands hang along the backdrop. The seated figure's identity is not established by the scene; the portrait is a printed image with no caption visible.
