A photograph of a crowd in a dusty village lane. In the centre, a shaved-headed man with his back to the camera wears a white dhoti-style wrap, a rudraksha mala and a sacred thread, and appears to be placing a hand on a young man in a yellow shirt. Around him press many men, boys and a small child in shorts, some in white shirts and others in colourful T-shirts. Behind them a silver car is parked beside brick walls, a white wall with painted red lettering, and a small temple gopuram stands at the top left. A woman in a purple sari watches from a rooftop on the right.
