Outdoor festival photograph under a white tent canopy with a yellow and red decorated stage behind. A tall cylindrical kalasha-like pillar painted with floral motifs and a bird stands at right. On the stage, several people in orange, saffron and red garments stand near a golden deity murti or ornate golden structure. In the foreground a dense crowd of devotees in white clothes and white kurtas, some wearing orange turbans, moves across a red carpet, while women in white saris with gold borders stand among them. Speakers and cables are visible at left. No individual on stage is clearly identifiable as a person, so the candidate is left unsure.
