A dense outdoor crowd of many people moves through an open festival ground under a hazy sky, with trees and tall bamboo scaffolding at the left. Men and women in shirts, kurtas, saris and salwars jostle together, many wearing caps or headscarves. A large golden umbrella rises above the crowd at upper right, and red and white banners with Hindi text hang on poles near it. At far left, a figure in saffron-orange clothing with a shaved head stands near the edge of the throng, but appearance alone does not establish any identity.
