Outdoor festival photo under a blue-and-white striped tent with garlands on the poles and a large crowd seated behind barriers. In the foreground a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a white ID badge holds an orange and a small blue item toward a seated figure wearing long, dark, swept-back hair, a cream-colored shawl and a red-and-gold garment. A gold ornate throne with a red-and-white floral garland is in front of that seated figure. Other devotees in white dhotis and kurtas stand nearby, and a man in a white shirt with a mala stands to the right holding a brass plate. An elderly man in white stands beside the group. The seated figure matches a person by long swept-back hair, shawl and ornate throne cues, but identity is uncertain.
