The woman in front has light blonde hair and wears a white sari with a beaded necklace and bangles; the woman behind wears a white sari with a teal and gold-bordered edge and a long braid, holding a decorated brass pot with flowers and mango leaves. Outside, a dusty open ground leads to a multi-storey building, trees, and parked cars, with two colourful umbrella-shaped canopies in orange and teal near the entrance. A small woven rug lies on the concrete threshold.
