A large outdoor celebration with a raised red-and-white platform in the foreground. A central figure sits on an orange-cushioned seat, dressed in a saffron-orange robe with a gold-trimmed hem, a gold headband or crown, and layered flower garlands in red and white. Women in white saris and orange-trimmed garments sit on the platform, one touching the seated figure's robe, and a woman in orange stands behind them. Men in dark suits and white-shirted youths sit to the right, and a dense crowd of people in white clothes fills the lower foreground and the steps behind. A tasselled canopy with colourful fringe overhead and an orange-robed figure with a long beard appears at the left edge. Statues draped in orange garlands stand at the upper corners.
