Inside an orange tent, a shaved-headed man in orange robes bends forward at a low wooden table, handing a pink-covered booklet to a woman in a rust-coloured turban, brown beaded necklace and orange blouse with gold bangles, who smiles as she takes it. Behind them, several men in orange robes sit on the floor; one seated monk has a yellow mark on his forehead. Marigold petals sit on a brass tray on the table, and a few people stand at the left edge holding pink boxes.
