A person in an orange turban, orange top and bare-armed orange garment, with long dark hair, extends cupped hands toward a smiling woman in a purple saree with a red bindi and gold bangles, who holds her hands together in greeting. Around them stand men in orange kurtas, a man in a white shirt with glasses, a man in a checked shirt and a man in a striped shirt, several wearing lanyard badges.
