In the foreground a woman in a white sari with a red bindi presses her palms together in namaste. Beside her a woman in an orange-red sari smiles while holding up offerings. To the left a large printed banner shows a standing figure in orange robes and a silver beaded necklace, which is a printed portrait rather than a physical person. Behind the line, more women and children in saris and salwar kameez watch, with a pale-blue and white tent structure visible beyond.
