In the foreground, a person in orange robes with dark hair in a low bun stands with their back to the camera. At right, a raised hand holds green mango leaves and wears a red thread and a bracelet, while another person's hair is partly visible at the bottom right. The scene appears to be a ritual blessing of the room with mango leaves. Two physical people are visible.
