Around the railing, people in white dhotis and kurtas, a woman in an orange sari with gold border, and a man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala stand with hands folded; a child in orange sits at lower left. Flower petals scatter the brass base and a brass lamp sits at the right beside a donation box. A photographer holds a camera at the far right edge.
