A night-time photograph at a roadside beside a grey minivan. A central figure wearing a maroon and orange turban, a maroon wrap and a leopard-print skirt is adorned with white and red-yellow flower garlands, gold necklaces and gold armlets, with white bandages on the arms. A man with white tilak on his forehead stands at the left by the van window. At right, a woman in a maroon and orange sari holds a metal tray with a green coconut and flowers. The central figure has been described by the page as a person, but appearance cues are only partially distinctive, so the identity is uncertain.
