Night outdoor festival scene with a smiling man in a loose beige kurta and shawl, his face and hair dusted with white powder, hands pressed together in greeting. Behind him, several devotees have white powder on their faces and bare chests, a small child with white-smeared face and beaded necklaces stands at left, and a blue ornate umbrella and orange flags are visible. Bright lights and blurred figures fill the background. A copyright credit overlays the lower right corner. The man's appearance (long swept hair, beige clothing, no distinctive crown or saffron robes) does not meet the threshold for an identification, so he is described only by role and clothing.
