In the centre a smiling woman in a maroon-red robe with a yellow-gold border wears a long garland of yellow flowers and a rudraksha mala. Beside her an elderly woman in bright orange robes with a white garland and a man in an orange-yellow shawl walk together. Men in saffron and orange-yellow turbans and shawls, some with rudraksha malas, surround them, and a man in white and red shawl walks to the right. A large golden ceremonial vessel on a pole rises above the crowd near the booths, and a poster shows a deity image on the right.
