Festive stage scene at a Krishna Janmashtami celebration. A central man seated in the middle wears a rust-brown dhoti-style wrap and shawl, a long white and pink flower garland, a gold necklace, a red tilak, a peacock-feather crown with gold curl ornament, and bangles on his arm; he is smiling. Around him, young boys in orange turbans and orange wraps sit close, one eating from a leaf plate. A woman in orange with a long braid and a beaded necklace sits in the foreground. Behind them hang colourful tassel decorations and white and red flower strings. The person in the centre is wearing distinctive ornate clothing and a crown with a peacock-feather ornament, but no cues are strong enough to confirm identity, so this is an appearance-based candidate only.
