In the foreground a smiling man in a white sleeveless top and white dhoti, with a red-and-white sash and red tilak on his forehead, grips a long silver pole topped by a canopy. Beside him a smiling woman in a white sari with a red-and-white sash holds a small brass object. Behind them women and men in white clothes with red and orange sashes walk beneath colourful umbrellas with tasselled fringes, a red and white flag waves, and seated devotees fill the floor on red mats. Hanging decorative banners and fans line the ceiling.
