Three men sit on a striped mat before orange and gold upholstered sofas in a draped room. The man at left wears a saffron-orange shawl and garment, a dark beaded mala and a gold pendant, with white tripundra ash on his forehead and grey hair swept back. Beside him a man in maroon and gold shawl sits with hands folded. At right a younger man, bare-chested with a gold-coloured shawl and multi-strand rudraksha and gold beaded necklaces, holds open palms over a silver tray holding a small brass vessel with flowers and a kalasha-style pot, while a hand offers a sprig beside it. Fruit lies at lower right. The scene resembles a blessing or puja exchange.
