A festive crowd inside a decorated tent with hanging paper streamers and lanterns. Women in colourful saris, a yellow, a blue, a pink and a magenta one, carry ornate pink and white kalasha-style pots on their heads, one topped with a decorative bird figure, and an orange umbrella overhead. A woman in an orange sari with a matching turban and garlands stands centrally. Men in white dhotis with rudraksha malas and orange shawls surround them, and a silver trident is held at left. A young girl in a dark top looks down at a phone. Most people smile. The scene looks like a procession or cultural event.
