Outdoor photograph at an orange-canopied event area. A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a red-orange turban, a long gold-beaded necklace and gold armlets, stands beside an open dark grey Ford SUV. Behind him a second man holds a yellow fringed umbrella over the scene, wearing a white dhoti with gold borders and a gold-bordered shawl with a beaded garland. A third person in white with gold borders stands to the right, and a uniformed policeman with a rifle is at the far right edge. Orange cloth hangs overhead with string lights and circular garlands on the orange walls. The man in saffron wears distinctive long gold beads and a turban, but the appearance is not clearly established, so the identity is uncertain.
