A seated man in an orange sleeveless top and orange shawl, with long dark hair in a bun and a hair clip, raises his right hand over the head of a young boy in a grey-blue t-shirt with a lanyard who holds a small object. Behind them a bald man in orange robes looks down at papers, and at right a woman in an orange and maroon sari watches. A red lacquered tray with small items sits in the foreground near a red-and-orange cloth. The scene resembles a blessing or ritual gesture at a gathering. The man's clothing is orange and his posture suggests a blessing; the shawl and hair cues are present but his face is not visible, so the candidate identity is uncertain.
