Outdoor photograph of a crowd seated and standing on tiered red brick steps at a public event. Many people wear white and cream traditional clothes, with some in orange, yellow and pink saris and salwar. Several women in white sit in the foreground, a few with orange and yellow sashes. On the left, a bald man in orange robes stands near a multicolored decorative parasol. A uniformed guard in dark khaki stands at the right, and metal railings line the steps. A figure in white with a shaved head sits centre-left among the crowd, but the appearance is too uncertain to identify anyone. The steps are crowded with dozens of people.
