A group of six women and girls stand before a garlanded memorial shrine under a large tree outdoors. The shrine, a stone structure with a small tiered top, is draped in yellow, red and white marigold garlands and sits on a stone base with a Tamil inscription. Several women wear sarees: one in a green and pink saree, one in a yellow-green saree, one in a blue saree, and one in a yellow-and-cream saree. Two girls in red and in pink-and-purple outfits hold pink flowers and wear white face masks. At right, a large framed portrait printed on a cutout is garlanded with red and white flowers and shows a bearded man in a saffron-coloured head covering and ornate gold necklaces. A pink cloth and flower offerings lie on the ground in front of the shrine. No one in the scene is identified as a person; the portrait is a printed image.
