Night photograph of an outdoor evening gathering lit by a row of street-style lamps and string lights. In the foreground a figure in a white turban, white clothing and a white and green flower garland stands with their back partly to the camera, one hand raised toward a crowd. A man in a grey striped shirt stands nearby, and to the right a bystander in a light shirt watches. Behind them a large crowd fills the open ground, with red-covered seating visible toward the back. The image is blurred and the appearance of the foreground figure is not clear enough to confirm identity.
