Night-time outdoor event with a crowd in the background and string lights overhead. In the foreground, a figure in an orange sleeveless top and leopard-print wrap sits with head bowed while a man in a white shirt drapes a white and red flower garland over their head. Another man in white smiles beside them. In front, a tray holds apples, wrapped chocolates and a small bowl of fruit, with a white jar and packets on a table. The figure's face is not visible and identity cannot be determined from appearance, so a person is unsure.
