A festive outdoor gathering under a large white tent with red and white striped drapery and red swags. A central figure in a white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl, wearing a long orange-beaded garland, is dancing with arms outstretched and hands held by people around him. To his right a person in saffron-orange robes with a bare upper body and a saffron shawl also reaches out. Around them many devotees in white kurta and dhoti, white saris and green-bordered saris, some wearing lanyards, raise their hands and clap. Green mats cover the floor, with a camera on a tripod visible at the back and a bright grey-white canopy overhead. Several people, some seated, watch from the foreground.
