A smiling woman with long dark hair pulled back sits at left, wearing a rust-orange draped garment and an orange-brown shawl, extending her right arm to bless a young boy in a black hoodie with red hood trim. Behind her a man in white dhoti and shirt with a red tilak smiles, and several men, women and children in white or light clothing crowd the room. A brass vessel sits at the lower left. Behind the group stand white-framed windows and a maroon curtain. The woman's appearance and orange clothing show cues associated with a sannyasi, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
