A large outdoor crowd at dusk celebrates Holi, with many people's clothes and faces splashed with bright pink, purple, green and blue colour powder. In the centre, a young person in an orange top stands among devotees in white and cream. Several older men wear white shirts and white dhotis, and a woman in a red sari stands at the right edge. A figure in a long red robe appears at the top right. Motorcycles are parked beside a concrete boundary wall, and a dirt ground surrounds the gathering. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, so no candidate is named.
