A woman seated at left wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red garment with a gold-bordered sash, gold bangles, and a long red-and-white flower garland. Her palms are pressed together in a gesture of greeting toward a man kneeling at right, who wears a light green shirt and white dhoti and holds a yellow fruit, with more yellow fruit in a box at lower right. Behind her, a woman in white with a rudraksha mala stands holding a paper, and a woman in a green top and pink dupatta stands nearby. Colourful flower garlands hang at left, and a red cushion and a leopard-print cloth lie in the foreground. Several people in white and light clothing move in the background, and framed photos hang on the wall.
