He holds a small coconut-like fruit and smiles toward a woman at lower left, who has blonde hair pulled back, a red-orange shawl over white clothing and a red tilak on her forehead. A man in white clothes stands barefoot in the water photographing the scene with a DSLR camera, and another man in white with a red-orange shawl holds a tall pole behind the seat, while a red canopy is visible at top right.
