An outdoor festival crowd on a dirt path beneath tall palm trees and a strand of orange pennant flags. A bald man in rimless glasses and an orange robe stands near the centre, smiling, while people around him in orange and cream clothing press in close. A man in a cream kurta with an orange sash raises a long orange cloth at right, and a white-robed man with a long orange sash stands nearby. A white van with a painted sign is parked behind the crowd. No candidate is identified by appearance, so the central figure is described by role only.
