Two women sit behind the counter: one in a teal salwar kameez, and an older woman in an orange-red sari with glasses, gold necklace and a red bindi, who holds a small brass object. On the counter are brass oil lamps, a silver-rimmed kalasha-style vessel with marigold garland, plates of bananas, apples, oranges and other fruit, a computer monitor, keyboard and printer. A man in a checked shirt stands at right edge. The scene suggests a pooja-style inauguration blessing at a business.
