Three young women in red silk saris with gold-bordered blouses sit close together in a dim outdoor setting with dark foliage behind them. Each holds a pink lotus flower with a green stem, and they wear gold necklaces, bangles and earrings. The woman on the right has a white vertical tilak on her forehead and a white bead necklace, and she looks down. The middle and left girls have forehead markings and a red bindi, and a smoky haze drifts through the scene. No a person candidate is visible.
