A group of women in saris stands along a silver barrier rail on the left, several with hands pressed together in greeting. On the right, a person holds a red tray containing fruits and bangles. A man with swept-back dark hair and a long garland receives this devotional welcome; the figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference but not a confirmed identification.
