Four people in white clothes are working on the decoration: a man in a white kurta with a pendant at left stretches up to adjust the garland while standing on a white plastic chair, a younger man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands beside him, and two women in white salwar-style outfits, one with a long braid and white dupatta, reach upward at the centre and right. Behind them is a white wall panel and a partly visible portrait with printed text, next to stacked white water tanks.
