In the left foreground a large cutout or banner-sized figure of a smiling man wears a deep red turban, a red shawl, a long rudraksha-style mala of beads and a white flower garland, and holds a trident and raises one hand in blessing. Behind him a dense crowd of devotees follows, many in white dhotis and saffron or orange shawls, some carrying red flags. Above the crowd a dark green umbrella and a yellow ornate umbrella shade the path, and red and orange flags fly along the route. Banners with printed text hang in the distance.
