Women in white clothing with red-orange shawls and beaded necklaces carry red flags on long blue poles, and a red and blue flag with a symbol is raised at right. A decorated float or vehicle with orange and gold ornaments sits in the background, and a man in white stands near it. Several uniformed attendants wear maroon caps, and in the foreground a man in a white shirt and glasses holds a phone. A banner at the bottom edge shows Devanagari lettering on a red background.
