A central figure seated on a low cushioned seat wears an orange-saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and has long dark hair; he appears to be the honoured guest, with a small red-and-patterned rug beneath him. A standing man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a black mala, stands nearby. A woman in a white-and-pink sari with a black mala holds a silver tray with two steel tumblers, and an older man in white shirt and glasses stands beside her. Around them stand about a dozen onlookers, including women in yellow, green and orange saris and men in white shirts, many smiling and gathered in the shop for the opening.
