A standing man in a white dhoti and an orange-saffron shawl stands at centre-right and extends his hand to a seated woman in a maroon garment, who reaches up to him. Around them several seated people wear white robes with white cloths wrapped over their heads and faces, some on low brick seats; one person in red-maroon trousers sits cross-armed on the ground in the foreground. A blue bucket, a metal pot and a plastic bottle lie on the ground, and trees and power lines appear in the background.
