Contact the institution

Portrait of a family. Father and mother are sitting on chairs, the children (3 daughters, 1 son) are standing next to, between and behind them. The women are barefoot and wrapped in a sari. The father is wearing a dark kurta, light-coloured trousers and shoes. The son is the only one not wearing "traditional Indian clothing" but a European-style uniform. Flower pots, cushions for the feet and a chair serve as props in the studio (see also shots of Taurines).
