A man in a saffron-orange robe stands in a doorway of a whitewashed concrete building at night, holding scissors to cut an orange ribbon stretched across the entrance, as a ribbon-cutting inauguration. Behind him, several men in white dhotis and shirts, one in a yellow shirt, and a man with a white shawl look on and some hold their hands together in greeting. Strings of small orange lights hang under a corrugated roof above. Several people are visible, and the man cutting the ribbon has a red vertical tilak mark on his forehead and a red undershirt.
