A photograph under a open-sided pavilion with a corrugated tan roof and metal frame. In the foreground a woman with grey hair pulled back, wearing a white top, a gold necklace and a bangle, holds out her cupped hand. Beside her a man with long dark hair, a red bindi and a white embroidered kurta with a paisley pattern holds out small green fruits to her and smiles. Behind them several people in white and green saris and white kurtas stand in a line, some holding metal plates, under a shaded hall. A handrail and white plastic chairs are visible.
