Outdoor photo on dusty ground at a gathering of white-clad devotees. In the foreground, a man in an orange saffron robe with a cream-and-gold turban and a long white-and-multicolour flower garland stands turned sideways, one arm raised in greeting and smiling, with a yellow wristband. Behind him a long line of young women in white with blue sashes moves in a procession, and a large seated and standing crowd in white clothes, some in white saris and some in white shirts with blue lanyards, watches. A half-built concrete building and a tree sit in the background under a pale sky.
