A crowded indoor hall with white-painted walls and a tent-like ceiling, where a large group of young people in white kurta-style clothes and orange sashes dance energetically with arms raised. Several youths wear orange headbands or pale orange scarves, and some have sandalwood or kumkum marks on their foreheads. Behind them stands a draped canopy in purple, silver and white with a trident emblem, decorated with white balloons and colourful patterned banners. The celebration suggests a youth festival gathering, with many faces smiling and cheering.
