Indoor hall with a white bed-like platform draped in white cloth and pillows. Two women stand at its centre: one in a cream and gold-bordered sari with gold necklace, the other in a pale blue salwar with white dupatta, both facing each other while one hands the other a small orange-and-gold box or tray with white paper. A framed portrait of a turbaned man with a white turban and orange garment stands on an easel on the left beside a scattering of rose petals on a white-covered table. A larger photograph of a turbaned man hangs on the back wall. A person in white sits on the floor at the far right near a small table, and a person in white is partly visible behind the bed.
