A man in white stands on the steps holding a copper vessel, and another in white stands by the doorway. A large copper kalasha-style finial stands on the right. Two women in white with orange shawls sit on the ground near the front, one holding a steel cup and one holding a blue bottle. Dense green trees fill the background. Plastic chairs are scattered across the yard.

A long-haired figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl sits on a white plastic chair at left, facing the group and gesturing with one hand. Six men sit on the ground around them: several in white shirts and white trousers, one in a grey vest holding papers, and one at lower right in an orange cloth with long hair. Some hold papers or notebooks. The appearance of the seated figure is consistent with the page's identification cues of long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, so this is a person presence in person, but the identification is not certain from the image alone.
