A large outdoor crowd stands in dense rows on a long red carpet under a clear hazy sky, with trees and a open-sided shelter in the background. Most participants wear red head coverings or red scarves over white kurtas, saffron-yellow, green, teal, pink and blue salwar kameez and saris. Several people are facing the camera while others stand with heads bowed. Bare dirt ground in the foreground holds scattered footwear and bags near the carpet edge. Crowd counts appear to be in the hundreds. No individual figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance.
