In the foreground a woman in white clothes holds a woven basket of pink flowers and a plate of offerings. Behind her, men and women in white dhotis and saris walk and play drums. On the right, two women in saffron-orange saris carry large dark peacock-feather fans with round red-and-gold medallions, and a white fluffy whisk stands among the white-clad participants. Buildings and trees lie in the background under a clear sky.
