A group photograph taken inside an orange-draped tent at a religious gathering. An elderly bearded man in white dhoti and shirt with white vertical tilak marks stands centre, with a young boy in green shirt and orange shawl in front of him. A young woman in pink sari and orange shawl holds a yellow card, and a bearded man in white dhoti with orange shawl stands at left. Several others wear orange shawls, and a woman in grey sari with orange shawl stands at right. The page indicates a person was present, but no one here can be confidently matched by appearance, so no identification is made. The partial text on a banner at upper right is not legible enough to transcribe.
