In the foreground, devotees in white dhotis and white kurta-style garments with red sashes walk behind tall red flags and umbrellas, one green patterned umbrella and one blue-and-yellow patterned umbrella held overhead. A bald man in white dhoti and shawl walks among them. Behind a golden metal barricade, crowds press forward, many in brightly coloured clothing. A white police vehicle with an orange beacon light sits on the right, and a row of parked cars and roadside banners and trees fill the background under hazy sunlight.
