Behind them, a standing man in a red shirt and a man in white with folded hands and a woman in a white sari with gold border watch. A large portrait of a smiling older man with a crimson shawl hangs at left, and red curtains frame the room. The scene appears to be a blessing or darshan moment in a hall.
