A festival crowd at an outdoor event with metal barricades and a stage truss at left. In the foreground, a woman in orange saffron robes wears a long beaded necklace with a large gold pendant and a dark mala, and holds a red flag, her hands raised. Beside her, a woman in orange with a gold-chain necklace and a crossbody bag faces forward. Behind them, women in white saris with red borders and red shawls raise their arms and clap in a procession-style dance, and a few men in white stand in the background. Bright sunlight, trees and small pennant flags are visible overhead.

A group of young women and girls in orange and saffron saris with gold borders walks and dances outdoors among trees. Many wear rudraksha mala necklaces, white forehead markings, and bangles. A young boy in white with gold trim stands among them, arms out. Behind them, men and boys in white and rust-orange dhotis and shawls are visible, one holding a rudraksha mala. The setting appears to be a rural ashram courtyard with greenery and reddish earth.
