Two men on the left sit cross-legged on the floor. The man on the left wears pink pants and an orange top. The man on the right wears orange pants, a green vest and a yellow turban. He holds a stringed instrument. A standing figure wearing a red turban and green pants is behind the woman. An architectural scene is in the background with trees, a white building with orange and red details, pink and white walls, and a dark blue sky with white stars and a white crescent moon.
