Night photograph of a dense crowd filling a street in a town centre, with many people in white and light clothing packed together below a row of older multi-storey buildings with balconies, lit windows and hanging wires. In the left foreground, a man with a short-cropped head and a red bindi stands on a raised platform, wearing a leopard-print shawl over an orange-saffron garment with a gold-bead necklace, holding the railing. Banners, signboards and small orange flags are visible along the street, and a white-clad figure is partly visible at the lower left edge.
