A man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a red undershirt stands at left, his hair tied up, looking down toward a stainless-steel platform scale mounted on the floor with a cable running up the wall. Beside him an older white-bearded man in white kurta and dhoti, wearing a rudraksha mala and a red tilak, bends forward and gestures toward the scale. Behind them a man in white clothes with a red cloth over his shoulder stands near the wall, and a partial figure in orange appears at the left edge. The scene suggests a weighing.
