A man stands in the foreground wearing a red-orange turban with gold trim, a red-orange silk garment, a thick orange beaded necklace with a gold pendant, and long garlands of red and yellow flowers, with a gold armlet on his upper arm. Behind him, a line of men in orange-red dhotis and saffron-gold shawls holds tall golden staffs and ceremonial tridents beside a large banyan tree at night, and one man at right carries a tray of flowers. Metal railings guard the walkway. Given the visible cues of the turban, ornate jewellery and garlands, the foreground figure is a person in a ceremonial role, while the men behind are attendants or devotees.
