The image is a found image, taken from a news website. The image is carefully cropped, so that the 'trending stories' sidebar is included. The composition therefore encourages distraction away from the main article, towards other things happening simultaneously. The aesthetic is a kind of popular culture aesthetic, which evokes the mechanical response of clicking through, exploring new articles, and not staying for long in one place.

This is a found image. It includes a photograph as well as source caption and a "trending" box. The photo is the central focus of critical commentary. I notice one woman in the photograph of dozens of male leaders (political and religious??). Most of the men are wearing white. The woman is in a brightly color sari. One man has a turquoise shirt on and another a tumeric and red colored scarf. They are  oriented toward the photography and are gathered around a fire vigorously burning. Most are standing, behind a seated (on the ground) semi-circle of men. Many stand with hands clasped, posing in assumed prayer.

The image is from a newspaper article, so it is a found image.
