A bald man in orange robes and a garland stands at the centre-left, arms extended over the pit. A woman in a red blouse and red sari with a flower garland stands at the pit's centre, with a rose-petal-covered tray beside her. Behind them, a seated man in orange robes holds a brass lamp and aarti tray. Brass kalashas with mango leaves and fruit sit at the pit's corners. A dense crowd of devotees in white shirts and dhotis, plus men in yellow and women in saris, watches.
