A photograph of a woman with long dreadlocked hair worn over one shoulder, wearing a red-orange sari with a gold border, a brown-orange shawl, gold earrings and a gold armlet. She leans forward smiling, placing her right hand on a large garland of yellow marigolds interspersed with white flowers, purple blossoms, red flowers and green leaves, resting on a brass tray. Behind her, another figure in red and gold stands near the garlands, with more floral strands visible at the right edge. The setting appears to be a temple interior with warm light. Several people are partially visible in the background.
