Around him, saffron-clad attendants with white ash markings and beaded malas carry a long yellow pole and a multicoloured fringed umbrella, one holding a pole while walking, another with a headband. Red-brick buildings and parked cars stand behind. Several attendants are visible, and the crowd is partly cut off at the frame edges.
