Night-time outdoor event with string lights on poles and orange-draped structures behind. On the right, a figure in an orange turban, sleeveless orange robe and long dark hair, with hands raised in greeting, faces a man in a maroon striped shirt and khaki trousers wearing glasses and a gold watch, who holds a small red object. Beside him, a woman in a pale green and yellow salwar with a red bindi presses her palms together, and a man in a white shirt with a moustache stands close. Further left, an older man in glasses and a white-haired woman are partly visible, along with several other men in white shirts and beaded necklaces in the background. The figure in the orange turban is a person candidate, identified only by appearance cues (orange turban, orange robe, long swept-back hair), and this is uncertain.
