Beside him, a young woman in a white dupatta and a woman in a lilac patterned dupatta stand together. A woman in a green blouse and gold-bordered beige sari holds a white garland and a plate of flowers. On the right, a woman in a cream sari with a saffron and maroon border holds a garland of white and orange flowers. Several pairs of sandals rest on the floor near the wall.

Several women wear yellow shawls, others carry black tote bags, purple water bottles and a woven bamboo basket. Long red and pink flower garlands decorate the open white doorway, and tall decorated kalasha-style pots in red, blue and yellow stand along the wall.
