A long-haired man in orange robes and a long mala of pink flowers walks centre-frame, smiling. Beside him a woman in white sari with an orange shawl holds a floral offering. In the foreground a man with a long beard, vibhuti on his forehead, wears a white kurta and orange shawl, hands clasped. Women in white saris carry brass pots and a silver staff. Balloons are visible at left. Several people in white stand behind. The man in orange with a flower garland shows appearance cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, so his presence is uncertain.
