He faces an older man in a white shirt who clasps his hands. Behind them stand a woman in a white and light green sari with a black beaded necklace and a red bindi, and other women and attendants in white and yellow sashes. A large brass vessel or gong edge is visible at the left, and a dark stage backdrop with hanging decorations is behind them. Whether the turbaned man is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
