A man in a white shirt kneels and holds his feet, while a man in a pink shirt kneels beside him. Behind them stand women in white and gold saris and a girl in a pink top, watching with hands together. On the left a priest in white dhoti and shawl pours liquid from a brass vessel, and a basket of green and yellow limes sits in the foreground beside a bowl. An orange cloth backdrop hangs with a red garland on the wall and a table fan stands nearby.
