Night street scene beside a dark vehicle. A bald man in a saffron-orange shawl and rust-brown dhoti, wearing a gold-chain necklace and rudraksha-style beads, stands at left. A woman in a red-orange shawl with gold jewellery and a hair bun faces him at right, holding a beaded wrist garland. Around them stand uniformed and plainclothes men, including one in camouflage cap and a man in a red-orange turban, with a few onlookers in plaid shirts and dark jackets. The bald man's cues are not decisive enough to confirm identity, so he is described only by role and attire.
