[[photograph of three standing people, with mustached male in center, a young woman to the left, and an older woman to right. All three are barefoot; the young woman is wearing a loose dark colored dress with a lighter border stripe that extends to mid calf; this is gathered at the waist and worn over a white or light colored long sleeved top. Her dark hair is long, and is mostly covered by a light colored scarf; she wears a series of bangles on both arms, anklets on both ankles, and a number of bead necklaces, both short and long. She also appears to be wearing toe and finger rings. Her right arm hangs by her side; her left arm is held across her body at the waist. Standing next to her is the central taller figure of the man, who is wearing a large dark turban and gazing directly out at the viewer. He has on a white or light colored long sleeved kurta with a darker sherwani overcoat that falls to mid calf and is bound at the waist by a wrapped and tied length of cloth, with a dagger being visible on the right side. The man's right arm is held at his side; his left arm holds the end of a staff or walking stick at chest level. The final person is an older woman, standing to the left side of the man; she is wearing a loose fitting white or light colored long sleeved top that appears to cover her to mid thigh; this is worn over a longer skirt that covers her to mid calf. Her hair is covered by a patterned scarf or length of cloth; part of of this extends over her left shoulder and across her body. She holds the end of this cloth in her right hand; her left arm is at her side.]]
