Behind him, men in white dhotis and white kurtas carry long poles and banners, and some wear orange cloth and garlands. Several men on the left hold a silver trident and an ornate staff. A long red and yellow decorated banner, flags and a tricolour flag are visible. Onlookers stand along the roadside.
