Behind them a man in white with a black head covering and a woman in an orange shawl look on, and a few people stand in the background near parked white vans and a dirt yard. Gold bangles and a wristwatch are visible on the hands working the leaves.2006-10-21Two people sit close together weaving a green leaf decoration on an indoor event, the man on the left in a white kurta with a yellow lanyard and glasses, and the woman on the right in a white and blue patterned salwar kameez with a yellow lanyard, a red bindi and gold earrings.
