A photograph inside a decorated tent with white fabric ceiling, colourful tassels and hanging fabric drapes. A crowd of men, women and a small girl gathers closely around a low table, where a woman in a beige sari with an orange-red border bends forward, reaching toward a wooden tray or box. Several men in striped and checked shirts stand watching, some with white and sandal forehead markings. A man in a pink shirt with a horizontal white forehead mark leans in beside the girl. A woman's hand touches a wooden carved object at the right edge. The scene suggests a darshan line at a camp, with no a person visible.

A young man in a pink striped shirt stands at left, smiling and extending his hands toward a seated figure in a saffron-orange turban and saffron robe, who sits on a red-and-white garlanded seat. Behind them, men in white shirts and white dhotis, one wearing a rudraksha-style pink bead mala, and a woman in a pink floral sari look on. A bowl of sweets sits on a tray in front, and a man at right with gold bracelet bends forward with hands extended. Candidate appearance is uncertain, so the seated figure is described by role as a seated devotee-receiving guest.2002-07-07 +2 copiesA crowded outdoor gathering in a village courtyard with a concrete wall and banana plants behind.
