Outdoor festival gathering under a large colourful canopy with blue, yellow and green panels and orange pennant flags strung overhead. A seated figure in an orange robe with long dark hair and a white flower garland sits at the front on a red carpet, before a golden ceremonial staff with a trident-like finial. Many people in white clothing sit in rows across the courtyard, with others in orange and saffron nearby; one woman in an orange shawl raises her arm. A decorated deity murti garlanded with flowers stands at the right beside palm trees, and a banner with printed text is visible at the left.
