A family of five sits cross-legged in a row on a red rug before a painted wall with a colourful temple-style pedestal in green, pink and orange, while a hand holding a brass vessel is visible at the top left. They sit with palms pressed together in namaskar as if in prayer or meditation. A woman in a blue and gold saree with white flowers in her hair sits at the centre, flanked by two boys in school shirts and a girl in a pink blouse and red skirt. The man at right wears a white shirt and white dhoti with a gold border and a rudraksha-style mala, with reading glasses. A maroon velvet curtain hangs behind them, and a brass pot sits on the right edge.
