The image displays a vertically oriented informational sign at an outdoor event, likely the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival in Mumbai, India, given the visible logo. The sign is dark brown with white text and graphics, advocating against animal cruelty. The main text, titled "CHAAR DHAAM by Abhijit Das," describes the torture of horses during pilgrimages (Dhaams) in India. It highlights how these horses bear heavy loads across dangerous routes, often getting crippled, dying, or thrown off cliffs. The text questions if such acts bring blessings. It then explains the art piece "Chaar Dhaam," which depicts a horse carrying the Shiv Tandav Stotram, sliced into four pieces by three mirrors. The mirrors reflect human responsibility for the "disaster," suggesting an infinite curse and negative impact on nature. The text states that "the 3rd of the horse has been knocked to the ground spilling the blood all over," symbolizing a disturbance of nature and an insult to the sacred, leading to the wrath of Gods. The sign concludes by calling for an end to this "mindless torture of voiceless animals." Two QR codes are present: one to "Scan to sign a petition to stop the torture" and another to "Scan to watch a video of the scary torture." At the bottom right, there is a logo for the "KGAF Kala Ghoda Arts Festival" with dates "25 Jan - 02 Feb 2025" and a silhouette of a horse. Another small green graphic depicting an eye, brush, and palette, labeled "VISUAL ARTS," is visible near the top right. The background shows a grassy outdoor area with several people in the distance, some walking, suggesting a public event or park setting under natural daylight. The sign is leaning on a metal stand, and part of the stand is visible on the right.
