A dense crowd of devotees in white clothes fills a canopied pavilion on a red carpet, many raising their arms and hands in celebration during a festival procession. In the foreground at left, a bearded man with long hair wears a white robe with a saffron-toned shawl over his shoulder and a rudraksha mala, with a red cloth raised in one hand; a large ceremonial-looking hand raises a small brass or silver object near the center. Several men in white shirts and dhotis dance among them, one in a lavender garment and another holding an orange-and-green shawl. Pink and white draped cloth covers the tent ceiling, with a crowd of onlookers behind metal railings.
