In the foreground, a life-size cutout or banner-style image of a smiling man wearing a red-maroon turban, a red-and-brown shawl, and multiple beaded rudraksha-style and white flower garlands, with a white-marked forehead, raises one hand in blessing. Red flags wave overhead and a light blue umbrella with a dotted pattern shades a group of devotees in saffron and orange clothing. Several people in front wear orange and red garments and white garlands, and a pale-clothed figure holds a red flag. Trees and roadside barriers line the street, and a bright sun flares at the top right.
