A bare-chested man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and waist stands at right, smiling, with his hand extended toward a small boy in a blue checked shirt crouching at the center. A woman in a rust-orange sari with gold necklace and bangles stands beside him, and an older woman in a blue floral sari with gold ornaments, nose stud and bangles leans forward. Men in white shirts and dhotis, one in an orange shawl at left, and a girl in a blue top stand around them.

Behind them, women in a pale blue sari and a red-and-gold sari stand close, one woman in white with an orange lanyard at the left edge, and men in white shirts and a purple garment stand in the background.
