A man in a white shirt with a vertical blue-striped pattern stands at right, reaching out to touch the forehead of a seated older man in white dhoti and shirt with palms pressed together in prayer and a white tilak on his forehead. Behind them, a white-draped table holds papers. A boy in a purple-and-white checked shirt stands at left with his arms crossed, and a woman in a white sari with a gold border stands beside him.
