A man with long swept-back dark hair, a bare upper body in saffron-orange cloth, and rudraksha malas wearing ceremonial gold necklaces, smiling, is scooping yellow rice from a large silver bowl with his hand. Opposite him, a woman in a red and floral blouse reaches to take rice from a steel pot. Behind them, a woman in a white and gold-bordered sari with rudraksha mala stands by a red sofa, and another standing woman in a white sari with a gold border and beaded necklace watches. A man in white ritual dress with a red-and-gold cloth is partly visible at the top left. Scattered rice grains and banana leaves lie on the table, with steel vessels and a blue backdrop behind.
