A dense night crowd of devotees fills a road lit by streetlamps, with a tall orange saffron flag on a pole at left. Most people face forward and appear to be following a procession toward a decorated float in the distance, which carries orange-draped figures under a canopy. In the foreground, a woman in pink and red wears a blue lanyard, another woman in peach has a red bindi, and a bearded man on the right wears a peach-orange robe and glasses with a blue lanyard. Several women wear pastel or gold headscarves and men wear white kurtas and turbans. No candidate a person is clearly identifiable in the foreground, so the a person field is unsure. The scene is a crowd, not a graphic.
