Photograph of a welcoming moment in an orange-walled courtyard. A woman in an orange sari places a garland of flowers over the head of a young girl in a white dress and white dupatta. A woman in a green sari stands at left holding a tray of garlands, and another woman in a yellow-and-white sari holds more garlands. Behind them, several women in white, green and orange saris stand near the red-and-white pillars and railing, and a woman with short grey hair in white clothes stands at right beside a participant in a white shirt and beige trousers wearing a name badge.

A photograph of a courtyard with orange and white painted walls where a woman in a maroon blouse and rust-brown saree with gold border stands with a garlanded dress visible, her hands on a beaded red and gold garland held by a woman in a maroon top and patterned saree at left. A woman in a pale pink and cream saree with maroon border bends forward, head lowered, while another woman places her hand on her head. Around them stand several onlookers: a woman in sunglasses and white top, a woman in a white tunic, and a young woman in a white t-shirt with glasses. A small orange-clad figure and a bag rest near the floor. The scene reads as a respectful blessing exchange.
