A line of young girls and women in traditional Indian dress stands along a dirt path beside a white building with a tiled roof and palm trees behind. Each holds a metal plate heaped with marigold petals and flowers, offering them forward. The girls wear orange, red, blue and green silk dresses and salwar-style outfits; several wear rudraksha malas, bangles and earrings.
