Several ornate umbrellas (chhatras) with bright multicolored panels, gold fringe, and pear-shaped motifs with flowers and a bird emblem are held aloft above the crowd. Orange flags fly along the edges. Many men wear white kurtas and shirts, and women wear orange and red saris and salwar outfits. A figure in a cream-coloured suit stands near the center of the crowd. Buildings and palm trees appear in the hazy background.
