A figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-style bead necklace leads, carrying a brass pot.

Several women in white saris with yellow borders carry brass kalashas with green leaves. A man in white kurta with a red-stained shirt and a child stand at the right edge. Several men and women of mixed ages are seen. Painted red marks and flower petals are visible on some clothes.
