In the right foreground, a person seen from behind with long dark hair wears a white jasmine garland and an orange garment; a person candidate is not clearly identifiable here, so this is described by role only. Musicians with drums stand near the group in the background. A small blue banner with a white logo is visible behind the dancers.
