A bald older man in white robes stands with both hands on the head of a younger person in an orange turban and orange robe, who is smiling with eyes lowered and wears a long white and pink flower garland around the neck. On the right, a young man in white kurta holds a long wooden pole upright. Behind them a man in glasses and white clothing stands, and a parked white vehicle and a colourful decorated tray or cloth edge the frame at lower right.
