A woman in a white sari with a long braid walks at the front holding a small object. Pink and yellow flowering shrubs grow at the right edge.

A figure in saffron/orange robes sits atop an ornate vehicle hung with marigold garlands, colourful tassels and a fringed canopy with striped banners. A long line of people in white and cream clothes, several women in red, orange and blue saffron-and-cream sarees, and children in red and white kurtas walk alongside, some holding lamps. Bamboo fronds and grass frame the right side.
