A man in long orange robes with long dark hair stands centre, wearing a large multicolour garland of red, magenta and yellow flowers, smiling.

A woman in a white sari with an orange border holds a brass pot and a silver tray of flowers and leaves. Around them, men in white shirts, one kneeling and others standing, and a woman in red blouses and a sari, plus a child, are gathered at the roadside.
