He smiles while raising his right hand to touch the forehead of a woman in a cream sari with gold border, who bends forward with her hands joined. Behind them a man in white dhoti and shirt with a gold bangle stands with his hands folded, and several women in saris, including one in teal and one in mustard, look on from a doorway. The floor has a red-orange rug and a white marble surface.
