Many people in white ritual clothing sit and stand in the foreground and on the steps; several men in dark shirts and trousers stand behind them, and a band of boys in white with red sashes plays drums and brass instruments. A woman in a lavender shawl stands near a small temple structure at left, and a man in a white dhoti with an orange-bordered shawl stands center-left among the crowd. Palm trees and a blue sky frame the background. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is confirmed.
