On the left, a smiling young man in saffron-orange robes wears a long garland of white flowers with orange and green accents and a rudraksha mala; he has a red tilak on his forehead and reaches toward the crowd. Behind him, devotees in white clothes and an older woman in white press forward, one man in an orange cloth is lifted on bamboo poles carried by men in white shirts, and girls in red and orange clothes watch. Some people use cameras, and a red-and-orange flag or shawl is visible.
