A man in a white shirt and a child in a red dress watch from the right, while green foliage and a garland-draped frame surround the entrance. a person appears in the centre: the long hair, saffron-red robe, turban and gold chain fit the candidate cues, so the role is the person cutting the ribbon.2008-07-27December 30 20092009-12-30December 31 20092009-12-31A doorway into a bright interior with polished wooden doors on either side.

The doorway is covered by a thatched palm-leaf canopy decorated with orange and green paper festoons and banana stalks. Men in white shirts and white dhotis stand behind, one holding a basket and another with raised hands. Scattered red rose petals lie on a white cloth at the threshold, and a small kalasha-like pot with flowers sits in a window niche. The figure appears to be a person, identified by the saffron robe, floral garland and bead mala, and is therefore the one in_person candidate in this photograph.2009-08-11
