A photograph inside a thatched round hut with a woven straw ceiling and walls. A woman in a white sari with a red bindi and a dark rudraksha-style bead necklace sits cross-legged on a grey mat in front of a pink-red throne-like seat decorated with red rosettes and red satin draping. Behind the throne is a framed portrait of a smiling man wearing a cream-coloured turban and dark clothing. To the right, a woman in white with an orange shawl sits on a white plastic chair, and a grey-haired person in white sits on the floor beside her. Cardboard boxes and a blue metal stand sit at the left edge, and red flowers are attached to the thatch above the throne.
