A photograph of a dense crowd at night under a decorated umbrella with red and white fabric and hanging tassels in blue, purple, green and white. A man in the centre wears a saffron-orange turban and saffron-orange clothing with a long white and pink flower garland, and his face is turned to a man in white clothes who is reaching toward him. Many people press around him, including a smiling older man, a man with a red-marked forehead and a man in a light shirt. Warm festival lights and decorative lamps glow in the background. The central figure shows some cues, such as the saffron turban and garland, that are consistent with a person, but the face is not clearly visible enough to confirm this, so the identity is uncertain.
