A photograph of a medical or blood-donation setting in a plain whitewashed room with a concrete floor. A man in a white striped collared shirt and dark trousers leans over a woman lying on a metal table, a tourniquet or cord on her upper arm and a small white cotton or gauze pad beside her arm. She wears a white sari with a maroon-and-gold border and a yellow blouse. Behind them, a seated man in a striped white shirt and white dhoti sits on a blue plastic chair, and a grey plastic chair stands at the left edge. The scene shows a routine clinical procedure rather than any ritual.
