A man in a red turban and red shawl stands at right, bare-chested beneath the shawl, and hands an item to a small girl in a maroon dress held by a man in a light blue shirt and dark trousers. Beside them a woman in a green salwar kameez with embroidered sleeves stands at left. Behind, men in white dhotis and shirts, one with prayer hands at far left, and a man wearing a beaded necklace stand near. At lower right a man in orange robes holds a brass plate with offerings. The red-turbaned figure has no distinctive presentation cues beyond red attire, so identity is uncertain. Around fifteen people are visible.
