A woman in a mustard sari with a red border stands at centre, and a woman in a white sari with a red-bordered pallu and a pendant necklace speaks to a child in white. Others in white dhotis and mixed clothing stand or move through the room. A small sign reads TOKEN on the wall, and a purple bird logo is visible.
