An orange umbrella is held overhead above a central figure wearing a red-orange turban and a large garland of white and red flowers, with a rudraksha mala visible at the neck. Around them, saffron-robed sannyasis with rudraksha malas and forehead markings stand near a man in a white shirt with glasses and a rudraksha mala who bends forward. Women in white and green saris with gold jewelry and flower garlands crowd close, one holding a brass vessel with petals and flowers. Villagers press in behind in the sunlit lane.
