A bare-chested figure with long dark hair wearing an orange cloth and a white flower garland sits on a chair near the center. A devotee in a grey-and-white ensemble kneels at their feet, and a man in a white shirt and glasses stands beside them holding a tray with two silver cups. Several people in white, pale blue and orange-red saris and shirts stand around watching, and a woman in a pink-and-white sari on the right holds a plate. A seated figure with long hair wears a saffron cloth and adornments, with a visible orange-and-green sari in the foreground. The scene appears to be a formal ritual or blessing at a business opening.
