Seated at the front, a bearded man in a red robe with a rudraksha mala and a silver staff sits beside a woman in orange sadhvi clothing with a mala. A bearded elderly sadhu in red robes with an identity badge sits at the far right. Crowds and lit decorated floats are visible in the dark background, and a green netting covers the left edge.
