Outdoor festival photo on sandy ground with palm trees and a row of flagpoles behind. A man seated on a red cushioned throne-like seat wears a dark jacket and a turban-style cloth. Behind him a standing attendant in white holds a tall pole with a large multicoloured fringed canopy overhead. Beside the seat a bearded man in saffron-orange robes and an orange headband steps forward, and a line of young people in white, some in pink, green and lavender, sit and stand along a rope barrier, many wearing orange and white scarves and beaded necklaces. The scene appears to be a ceremonial procession or reception.
