A photograph of an outdoor village gathering on a tiled ground beside a pale green wall. A figure with long swept-back dark hair, saffron-orange robes, a yellow marigold garland and a red bindi sits on a blue cushioned seat, reaching to hand a small card to a boy in a white shirt. Beside the seat, a robed attendant in orange kneels among scattered yellow and red flowers and a flower-decorated tray. Other men in white shirts, a man in a shaved-head priest style with a white cloth, and a man with a camera stand nearby, while women and children in colourful saris and dresses watch from the right. Flower petals cover the floor.
