Outdoor photo beneath a spreading tree with bare-ish branches and green leaves, the ground covered with fallen dry leaves. Two people in white traditional dress with gold borders bend forward to gather leaves. A woman in a white sari with gold border holds a woven basket aloft while standing on the leaf-strewn ground. A small girl in an orange top and red skirt stands at the left edge. No a person candidate is visible, so the page's claim is not supported by the image. The setting is a dry, sunlit grove.
