A domestic interior during a house-visit welcome. A woman with long dark hair, wearing a dark red sari and gold bangles, sits on the right holding a red fruit over a tray of marigold petals. Beside her, a man in a white dhoti and red shawl with a white jasmine garland stands with palms pressed together, and a woman in a green sari with white flower garlands also joins her hands. An elderly woman in an orange sari and a grey-haired woman in a purple top bend forward in greeting. A framed portrait with a marigold garland hangs on the wall, showing a saffron-clad figure with long hair and a beaded necklace. Several standing onlookers and children watch from the back.
