A crowded outdoor celebration where devotees in saffron and white clothing surround a central figure with long, dark, loose hair seen from behind, wearing a saffron and yellow garment. Several young men in orange and white clothes, some with orange shawls and a gold necklace, smile and embrace the crowd. Behind them, two ornate gold-and-red thrones stand, and a large crowd of onlookers fills the foreground. Many devotees have sandalwood or vibhuti marks on their foreheads, and an older man in orange and a man in white raise their hands in joy.
