A crowded outdoor Holi celebration among coconut palms, with many children and adults gathered on bare sandy ground. Many people wear white kurtas or dhotis, some with orange or saffron shawls over their shoulders, and several have faces and clothes splashed with pink, purple and yellow powdered colour. Children in bright shirts, including a yellow top and red trousers, hold small yellow squeeze bottles and colour packets. Coloured balloons in pink, red, green and blue are tied to tall poles at left, and a copper-coloured ornamental pillar stands at right. The mood is a festive crowd playing with colours.
