A nighttime outdoor photograph of a dirt courtyard lit by floodlights and strings of warm lights. Several men in shirts and trousers stand in a loose group, one holding a sheet of paper, while a woman in a white sari walks past at the right edge. A large banner on the left shows photographs and printed text above a green gate, with a small plant and a tree beside it. The men's appearance does not clearly match any a person cues, so no candidate is identified.
