A crowded procession indoors in a hall with a white tiled ceiling and fluorescent lights. Many people in saffron-orange and red-orange dhotis and wraps, along with others in white garments, hold up a set of ornate umbrellas (chhatras) in pink, magenta, blue and teal, decorated with gold embroidery and silver-sequined fringe. Participants raise their arms and dance energetically, some barefoot, while a man in a light blue top and white dhoti stands at right. A few people in white clothes are at left, and a framed picture and banner hang on the back wall. The scene resembles a ceremonial umbrella procession during a gathering.
