A photograph of a Holi celebration in an outdoor courtyard in front of a white building with a sign reading Sri Anandeshwar Mandir. A long-haired figure in an orange saffron robe stands with their back to the camera, facing a crowd of cheering children and young adults. Several boys have faces smeared with pink, green and yellow colour powder, and some hold yellow-green colour sprayers. Men in blue and white shirts and jeans clap and smile at the edge of the group, and boys wear orange shirts, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and checked shirts. Trees and a blue sky appear behind the building. The crowd totals roughly 21-100 people.
