A seated elderly man with long white hair, a white beard and round glasses, wearing an orange robe over a pink and white checked cloth, holds his hand near his face while a young man in a navy t-shirt bends forward to work on a marigold garland on a silver tray of flowers. Behind them a man in a red-orange turban and saffron robe with a large beaded rudraksha-style necklace sits on a low wooden stool, and a person in a red shirt stands at the back. The tiled walls and window frame a small ritual setting with a tray of yellow and orange marigolds and an orange garland laid out before the seated figure.
