In the centre, a young girl with long hair in white kurta and pants kneels in front of a red-and-gold cushioned seat. To the right, a bearded man in white clothing and orange-red shawl stands barefoot, followed by a woman with light hair in a rust-red top, and at far right a woman in a rust-red and gold-bordered sari with a rudraksha mala.
