Outdoor photo at a courtyard beside a long white building with a green corrugated roof and red columns. Scattered firecracker debris covers the ground. In the centre, a figure in white robes with long dark hair walks barefoot, appearing to be a person by the long swept-back hair and white clothing, though this is uncertain. Beside them, a woman in an orange sari holds a tray. In the foreground, two men in white dhotis with orange shawls bend low over the debris, and a man in white with a yellow shawl stands at right. A crowd of children and adults in white and coloured clothes watches from the left and background. Palm trees appear beyond the roof.
