The woman on the left wears a yellow patterned kurta and short curly hair, and holds the pole. The woman on the right wears a white sari with a yellow border, beaded rudraksha-style necklaces and a bracelet, and smiles as she grips the flag. Behind them, dark stone sculptures of deity murti and figures stand among palms, and a woman in a red-orange sari stands at right beside another sculpture. A red-and-white sign appears at the base of a statue. A man in white stands in the background among the statues.
