A girl with a long single braid and glasses kneels on a sandy-brown floor, filling a chalk kolam outline with pink powder.

Her fingers press pink colour into a large petal-shaped section of white chalk lines, with more chalk floral and leaf motifs surrounding it. No a person is visible; the scene is a rangoli-making activity.
