A photograph of a seated figure in an orange sleeveless top and a pink and green flower garland receiving a folded white cloth or note from an elderly woman with long grey braided hair, wearing a pale floral cream sari and a black bead necklace. Standing behind them are a man with a white-and-red tripundra mark on his forehead wearing a yellow and white shawl, a man in a white shirt with an ID badge, and several other standing men in white and collared shirts, with a dark draped backdrop and a tent-like ceiling behind. The seated figure has short dark hair pulled back and a flower garland, matching the presentation of a person but with uncertain appearance cues, so the identity remains unsure.
