Several carry tall silver-toned ceremonial staffs with curled finials and ornate yellow-fringed umbrellas or canopies, and one red canopy is raised above them. A large red banner with Dhyanpeetha lettering and embroidered animal and floral motifs flies on a pole at right. Snow-streaked grey mountains rise behind white buildings and utility poles under a cloudy sky. A man in an orange shawl at the left front holds a pole, and a figure with ornate white and gold garland-like adornments stands at the centre near the canopies.
