A photograph of a group of young women and girls outdoors on a dirt path with palm trees and scrubby greenery behind them. Many are dancing and smiling, with raised arms and coloured powder smeared on their clothes and faces. Several wear orange kurtas and orange salwar trousers, others wear pink, red, green and printed kurtas with dupattas, and a few have tika marks on their foreheads and beaded necklaces. The scene looks like a festive celebration with coloured powder play.
