A man in a checked black-and-white shirt and khaki trousers, with an orange shawl over his shoulder, stands behind, and a younger man in a red-and-white checked shirt kneels and holds out fruit on a plate. Around them stand women in colourful saris and salwar, a woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha-style necklace, and girls in white dresses; several people hold up mobile phones. A red cloth backdrop and a camera tripod are visible. The seated man is a person candidate based on the long hair, saffron wrap and ornate garland, though appearance is only partly clear.
