Two boys in matching saffron-orange t-shirts and shorts walk along a wet, muddy road carrying decorated kanwar-style wooden poles. The poles are hung with pink tinsel, paper streamers, red cloth, small framed prints, plastic flowers and small bottles. The boy on the right wears a red cloth over his shoulder and holds his pole against his shoulder, while the boy on the left, also in orange, carries a pole with a red fringed cloth. Their shirts show a printed Shiva image with trident and the text 'Bol Bam'. A river or flooded water is visible behind them, and large puddles reflect the light on the road. Two people are visible.
