A man in a maroon dhoti and a red turban holds a tall staff with a trident-topped finial under a red, multicoloured fringed parasol, and wears a gold necklace and orange flower garland. Around him, men in white dhotis with gold borders and deep red shawls, many wearing rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces, walk barefoot and clasp hands in greeting. A woman in a maroon sari stands at the left, and a saffron-robed sadhu walks in the background. Uniformed police stand near the right edge, with hills and trees behind.
