Facing him, a woman in a yellow polka-dot sari with a long braid and gold bangles holds out a blue-covered booklet. Behind them a man in a white shirt holds a paper slip, and a white-robed attendant with a rudraksha mala stands at the back. A white-draped table in front holds rudraksha malas, sacred ash-coloured items, cards and booklets. The setting appears to be a hall with a white cloth-covered table.
