Around him, bare-chested attendants in orange-saffron dhotis hold a large multicolored parasol and a silver staff; a white-clad man holds a brass vessel. Devotees in white dhotis and a woman in a green sari stand along the sides, some with palms joined. Colourful umbrellas with beaded fringes fill the background, and petals are scattered on the ground.
