On the left, a woman in a red sari with gold bangles and a dark shoulder bag smiles. Next to her, a woman in a white sari stands beside a boy in a pink t-shirt and khaki trousers. A bearded man in a white kurta and white trousers stands with his arm around the boy's shoulder. On the right, a woman in a peach-coloured lace sari carries a dark handbag.
