In the foreground, a woman in an orange-red sari with rudraksha mala and a white-and-red forehead marking raises her palms in greeting.

Several people carry tall silver staffs topped with trishul-like finials and a silver kalasha, and a silver umbrella-style canopy with bells appears at left. Many devotees in white and orange garments with vibhuti marks stand with folded hands. A cameraman films in the lower left corner.
