At centre, a bearded man in a rust-orange sannyasi robe and rudraksha mala, wearing a white flower garland, stands with palms pressed together in greeting.

Around them devotees in orange and red saris and an orange wrap, plus men in checked shirts and white dhotis, press in with hands folded. Shop signs, a lit chariot (ratha) and an illuminated shrine structure appear in the background.
