A man in an orange turban and orange robe with heavy gold necklaces and gold bangles stands at right, smiling and placing his raised hand on the head of a man in glasses and a white shirt. In the foreground a man in a white and navy polo kneels with palms pressed together and head bowed, while a woman with long dark hair and a man in grey stand nearby.
