Outdoor Holi celebration in a courtyard beside a grey concrete-block wall. Dense crowd of devotees covered in bright pink, orange, purple and green powder colours throws and smears colour on one another, several laughing. Men in shirts and dhotis and women in saris and salwar kameez fill the frame, with more onlookers standing behind a low wall. A few people in the background wear white shirts and light trousers. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible among the crowd, so no in-person claim is made.
