Nitish Jindal with Pranab Mukherjee — Photograph 04
Nitish Jindal leans forward to present a bright yellow-wrapped bouquet to Pranab Mukherjee, who is seated behind a desk. Books and documents are stacked prominently across the desktop. The vivid flowers provide the central visual focus, while the two figures are captured during the handover rather than in a posed portrait.
