Night photograph under a canopy strung with multicoloured pennants. A smiling figure with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange dhoti-style garment, a gold necklace and a leopard-print jacket, seated cross-legged on a leopard-print cushioned seat atop an orange cloth. Around him stand about a dozen men in white dhotis and shirts, some with sashes and beaded necklaces, several with hands folded or arms crossed, watching. A man in a light blue shirt stands at the left edge. Several spectators are in view, so the scene holds roughly 6 to 20 people. The seated figure's distinctive saffron clothing, gold necklace and long hair are visible cues, but the photo is too dark and far to confirm the identity, so this is an uncertain appearance.
