A photograph of an outdoor gathering among trees. In the centre, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, wearing a cream brocade kurta with gold embroidery and a white and gold sash, bows his head and presses his hands to a red and white striped cloth held on a pole. Behind him, a canopy hung with red, orange, navy and white tassels shades the scene. Onlookers stand around in winter coats, a woman on the left in a dark jacket with a red and white scarf and a man in a grey jacket on the right. a person is the central figure; the long hair, gold-trimmed cream brocade and ceremonial sash are the cues, and he is performing a reverent act with the cloth.
