Behind him, figures wear orange and saffron cloths, and a man in a white dhoti holds a tall silver staff. Two women in white saris are visible, one carrying a brass plate of offerings. Colourful decorated parasols with tassels and an orange banner with a red emblem are carried overhead, and a brass horn-shaped instrument is visible. Several people in white and yellow dress follow.
