A dense crowd of young people, mostly seen from behind, surrounds a procession under two large colourful ceremonial umbrellas with fringed tassels in orange, red, green and blue, one bearing white dove emblems. Palm trees and a row of flags line the open grounds behind them. A central figure in an orange garment with a white-and-orange floral garland stands among the umbrellas, while a peacock-feather fan and a decorated ceremonial standard rise at the left. Several girls wear pink and gold salwar kameez, and a uniformed officer stands far left.
