A seated man in an orange-gold silk shawl and a salmon-orange turban sits with hands pressed together in greeting, smiling. An older man in white dhoti and shirt with wire-rimmed glasses bows low and touches his shoulder. Behind them a bearded man in white stands, and on the left three men wear white with lanyards; one holds a folded paper. A white-covered chair, a blue carpet, a pedestal fan and potted plants fill the hall. Four to five people are visible, including partial figures at the edges.
