Night-time crowd scene at a large gathering. In the foreground a figure in a turquoise-blue turban and white robe with a red-orange shawl, long dark hair visible, raises a hand in a high-five greeting toward a young man in an orange-and-white plaid shirt with arms outstretched and a white ID badge clipped to his pocket.

The appearance-based cues on the turbaned figure are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role only.
