In the centre, a young man in an orange saffron robe with a multicolour-and-white flower garland and rudraksha beads walks smiling, with a large white feathery fan-like whisk behind him. To the right, a man in white with an orange shawl and glasses walks beside him, and another man in white holds a peacock-feather fan. On the left, a woman in an orange shawl holds a white chamara-style whisk, and orange flags and a trident-topped staff appear in the background. Several other devotees in white and orange stand nearby under trees and a yellow building.
