A photograph of a long, newly built red-brick block with a white-painted veranda and yellow marigold garlands strung along its railing. A man with long dark hair tied back, wearing an orange shawl over orange dhoti and orange sandals, stands on the veranda holding a blue-bordered book with a deity image on its cover, and gestures with one hand toward a dirt road. Beside him, a man in a white shirt and dark striped trousers stands barefoot and looks down, and a woman in a patterned orange-brown sari is partly visible at the right edge. On the road below, several people in white clothing stand watching, and a white car is parked further off. Yellow petals scatter the concrete floor. The sky is overcast.
