A photograph of a book stall at an outdoor event under a red-orange tent. On the white-draped table are many books and booklets, including dark hardcovers and blue-spined volumes. A woman in a white embroidered shawl with red border stands behind the table handing a book to a woman in an orange-yellow sari. Beside them, several men in turbans and kurtas wait to buy: one in a white turban and white beard, one in a red patterned turban and brown wrap, one in a pink-and-white turban, and a bald man in a white shirt. A seated woman in white with red border sits at the left edge. A lantern hangs in the background. Roughly eight people are visible.
