Indoor photo of a seated figure in orange-saffron cloth with a bare-shouldered wrap and a heavy gold bead necklace, with a white tilak on the forehead and hair pulled into a bun, holding a silver tray or vessel that a man in a white short-sleeved uniform shirt with epaulettes and a radio clipped to his belt is reaching toward. The man stands and appears to receive something from the seated figure. A second person in orange cloth stands at the right edge, and a small brass or gold ritual object is partly visible at the lower right on a counter. The seated figure's cues are a gold bead necklace, bare shoulder wrap and orange clothing, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm an identity.
