A living room gathering of about a dozen people seated on cream armchairs and on the dark wood floor. A central figure in a long saffron-orange garment sits in a white armchair with bare feet, with long dark hair, making her a person by the orange clothing and seated-centre placement, though her face is not visible in a way that confirms identity. Nearby, a woman in a green and gold sari sits on the floor, a girl in a red outfit sits beside her, and a man in white and a woman in a red top are seated in front. A flat-screen television, a vase of red flowers, candles and a decorative wall niche sit in the background.
