A woman in a brown and gold silk sari with heavy gold necklaces and gold bangles stands at right, placing both hands on the head of a smiling man in a white shirt during a blessing. A young woman in an orange patterned salwar holds a red apple in the lower left foreground. Behind them, a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and another in an orange cloth with white tilak on his forehead watch. The large hall has red curtains along the walls and gold-ornamented decorations at the back. The woman's appearance does not clearly match the a person criteria, so the person is described by role as the one giving blessings. Visible physical people number roughly six to eight.
