A seated figure in an orange robe and a white flower garland touches the forehead of an older man in white shirt and white dhoti who bows with hands folded. Behind them stands a woman in a beige and maroon sari, and a younger person in white with a yellow shawl holds a red tray of apples. Several men in white kurtas and a woman in a green sari holding a small child watch, and a cameraman films the moment.

Behind them a woman in a cream sari with a necklace stands with hands folded in greeting, and another person in white stands in the background near glass doors and a potted plant.
