Outdoor festival photo under a white tent with red and yellow drapes. A man seated on a red cushioned throne with a golden lion-headed armrest wears long dark hair, a multicolour flower garland and orange robes, with a gold necklace and bangles. He has a swept-back hairstyle and a shawl-draped figure, and his appearance matches the page's a person cues, so this is a person in a ceremonial seat. Beside him a shaved-headed man in orange garments and a rudraksha mala stands near a large brass vessel. Devotees in white and saffron saris and white kurtas line the foreground, some offering fruit and packets from wooden trays. Behind them, performers in white and dancers in colourful costumes stand on a red carpet near musical instruments and a sound system. Golden deity murti decorate the left edge and the background.
