A man with long dreadlocks, a white tilak, a thick white-and-pearl flower garland, gold earrings and gold bangles sits at left, holding a silver trident and extending an orange cloth to a small girl in a yellow-gold dress with a beaded necklace who bends forward to receive it. A woman in an orange sari with a long braid stands behind the girl. Behind them a woman in brown holds a microphone, and an electric fan and ornate gold carved panels fill the background.
