A photograph of a crowd gathered outdoors near a dusty open field, with orange and saffron flags and decorated umbrellas overhead. In the foreground, a woman with long dark hair in a white-and-green floral garland extends her hands toward an orange-saffron cloth held up by people in the crowd. Several men and young women in white shirts and kurtas press close, some with vibhuti or tilak marks, and a cameraman with a video camera films from the middle. Behind them stand a wooden or bamboo barrier and parked vehicles beyond a row of multi-storey buildings.
