Many people in white dhotis, white kurtas and white salwar-style outfits walk among saffron and orange flags bearing a blue emblem. Two decorated umbrella canopies with multicoloured panels, gold finials and fringed tassels are carried over the crowd, and a banner with red and white lettering stretches above them. A man in a dark suit and tie stands at left, a man in an orange shirt with a blue bag walks at centre, and women in white and cream saris are visible. A blue sign on a stand reads that photography, video cameras, mobile cameras and audio recorders are strictly prohibited. A red banner at left shows a portrait with text.
