Description
Girls wearing formal clothes, large necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and crowns with flowers in them are performing some kind of ritual. It might be part of a festival since there are people watching in the background. This postcard has been colorized. A typed note on the back of the postcard thanks benefactors and tells them that the recipients of their financial assistance remember them in prayer every day.
