Many women in cream and white saris with gold borders hold brass pots (kalasha) topped with coconut and green leaves, with some pots decorated with flowers. A woman in the foreground wears white with a white vibhuti mark on her forehead and a rudraksha-style mala. Men in white dhotis and shirts stand further back.
