Outdoor festival scene under a white tent with a pink and white draped ceiling and ceiling fan. A person in a red sleeveless top and saffron-orange wrap, with long dark hair and red-and-white flower garland, sits on a white-draped seat with a gold-finished trident-like staff beside them and a silver bowl and flower offerings in front. A woman in a cream sari with a green border offers a tray of sweets to them, while a woman in a pink sari and others in white stand around. Several people in white and devotees in saffron wraps crowd behind. The seated figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the a person field is unsure.
