Outdoor scene at a gated compound in Tamil Nadu: a temporary entrance arch of two green banana plant trunks with hanging bananas, leaves and red-and-white flower garlands, roofed with a purple and multicolored striped cloth canopy. A green tarpaulin runs along the dirt ground beneath the arch. Several men stand in the foreground, including one in a white shirt with arms folded, one in a blue shirt, and men in white shirts and dark trousers; a woman in an orange sari stands at the right edge, and another man stands by the gate. Trees, a white wall and a metal gate with gold-tipped finials frame the background, with a small green stool near the arch.2006-10-24July 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesOutdoor scene under a bright sky: a palm tree with green coconuts stands behind a decorative arch of bananas with bundled banana bunches, banana leaves and a garland of white flowers strung across bamboo poles.
