A photograph of a pile of folded and crumpled fabrics on a white floor and peach-colored cloth. A large heap of deep red cotton cloth with orange and gold striped borders sits beside a blue plastic bag stuffed with green, yellow, orange, purple and dark velvet pieces. Yellow marigold garlands lie at the left edge near a striped purple and white cloth, with dark red velvet drapery overhead. No people are visible; the scene looks like ritual cloth being sorted or stored.
