Outdoor Holi celebration in a crowded courtyard in front of a white building with a sign above its doorway. Many people are covered in bright pink, purple, blue and green powder colours. A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with long, swept-back hair stands centre-front, smiling and gesturing, surrounded by the crowd. Behind him, a man in a pink-stained garment and another in a dark red-brown cloth clap, and women in white and colourful saris stand among the throng. Two black loudspeakers on stands sit near the steps. Swamiji (probable) is the saffron-clad figure with long hair and a flowing orange shawl, shown in person amid the devotees.
