A crowded street scene in which a man in white dhoti and shirt with a red-and-gold shawl holds a garland of orange and yellow marigolds, with a framed photo or printed sheets tucked beneath it, and smiles while several men around him in white clothes press their palms together in greeting. A uniformed police officer in khaki stands at the right edge, and an older woman in an orange sari with a bindi stands at the left. Several men wear white shirts with ash or sandal marks on their foreheads, and one man in an orange shawl folds his hands in front of his chest. The setting is outdoors at night, with the crowd pressing close around the garland presentation.
