In the centre, a young man in orange dhoti and bare chest, with white tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala, carries a brass tray holding flowers and two lit brass lamps. Behind him, a figure in a red turban and orange garments wears a long floral garland and raises a hand in greeting. A man with a shaved head and a child in orange follow, and a drummer in orange sits to the right. A tall red and gold ceremonial banner on a pole leads the group.
