Evening outdoor gathering at a festival stage with a large crowd seated on the ground. In the centre, a bald, bare-chested man in grey loose trousers, with a white flower garland, smiles while embracing a woman in a red and gold sari who wears a flower garland. Behind them stands an ornate arched frame decorated with colourful patterns, and on the left a golden decorated seat. Many people in white and orange robes, some with rudraksha malas and tilak marks, sit in the crowd. Visible physical people number well over twenty.
