A dense crowd gathers at an outdoor water-side steps area in the evening. Two large colourful parasols with fringed edges, one red-green-yellow and one blue-yellow, are held aloft over the group. A central figure in an orange robe stands on the steps, with a white-clad attendant beside them holding a golden trident. Many people wear white dhotis and white shirts, some in orange or yellow sashes, and some women wear saris in turquoise, orange and pink. A woman in a plain blue sari stands near the front. Onlookers and a person with a camera fill the background among trees. Blue and white logo emblems appear on the parasols.
