Behind her, a man in white kurta and orange shawl stands holding a garland of white flowers, and two men in white kurtas stand at left, one holding a small tray. A white Anglo French Textiles bag rests on the floor near the chair. The setting appears to be a convention hall during a spiritual gathering with devotees honoured in person.
