Balloons in pink, green, orange, yellow and blue are scattered around, some tied to a clear plastic partition. A boy in white clothing with an orange flower garland stands at right holding a blue balloon, and a girl in a pale green top and pink trousers walks near a table draped with a rainbow-striped cloth and a traffic cone. At left, a partly visible person in a light blue shirt and another in orange-patterned clothing stand near the edge of the frame. On the back wall, shelves hold brass pots and framed religious paintings, and round ornamental plates hang on the wall.
