The central figure wears a brown-maroon robe and raises one arm, holding a large orange and multicoloured umbrella overhead, with a tassel-fringed canopy above the golden platform. To the left, a man in white dhoti with a maroon-and-gold border and bare upper body stands with hands together. On the right, a bald man in brown robes with a red shoulder bag faces away from the camera. Vehicles, flower-decorated carts and floral strings surround them.
