An older woman in a maroon patterned sari stands beside them and looks on. On the right, a man in white with an orange shawl watches. In the background a woman in white stands near a tray of offerings on a red-cloth table, and other people and plastic chairs fill the room. The framed print shows a group of people in colourful clothing. The long-haired figure in orange has distinctive long swept hair and saffron robes, which are appearance cues for a person, seated in a ceremonial exchange of a photograph.
