A woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge. The seated figure has a red bindi and a tattoo on the arm; the setting is a dark indoor hall.

Behind them, a woman in a cream and gold sari and another attendant in rust-orange robes with a beaded necklace stand near potted green plants and a deep red curtain.
