A photograph of a wooded outdoor site with a large spreading tree whose low branches arch across the frame. Several women in white and cream saris and salwar kameez stand and crouch on reddish-brown earth around the tree base, some tending small bowls or buckets and others reaching into the branches. Two figures in saffron-orange robes stand near the centre, one with a shaved head and one with long dark hair, and a person in white stands at the upper right on the branch. A woman in a bright red top and dark skirt holding a black bag stands in the foreground. The page does not name an event, and the scene shows no visible a person candidate with sufficient cues, so the saffron-robed figures are described by role only. Roughly a dozen people are visible.
