Outdoor scene at an open courtyard during an evening gathering. A seated figure in an orange hooded top sits on orange cushions, facing a young man in white and black clothes who holds a small bunch of colourful beads. Behind them stands a line of girls and women in white, cream and orange salwar and saris, some with orange shawls, with an older man in white kurta and a man in white with an orange shawl holding a camera. A microphone on a stand and a vase of red flowers sit on the orange cushions. Red and pink garlands decorate a pillar and the boundary fence in the background.
