A woman seated cross-legged on a blue and white checked mat, wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over her head and body with a matching orange garment, a small red bindi, wire-rimmed glasses and a dark beaded bracelet on her wrist. Her hands rest together in her lap beside a half-full clear plastic water bottle with a blue label in the foreground. Behind her, a young man in a white shirt sits against a white wall with a camera strapped at his waist, his hand raised to his chin. The woman has no visible long swept-back hair, crown, rudraksha mala or ceremonial gold necklace, so she does not qualify as a candidate for the a person role; she is described only by her role and attire.
