A photograph on a dirt road beside an orange-brick wall. A shaved-headed man in a white kurta, orange waist sash, white dhoti with red border and blue slippers holds a white sack and reaches toward a black-and-white cow on a rope. Behind them a young man in a brown t-shirt and khaki trousers walks with a backpack, and another black cow rests on the grass. Palm trees stand in the background. The sash and white dress are plain ritual-style clothing; no face-based identification is made, so the man is described by role and clothing only.2011-08-10January 16 20192019-01-16A photograph on a dirt road between green shrubs and trees.
