A young boy in a lime-green shirt and jeans swings a long bamboo stick at an adult man in a grey shirt and cream trousers, both barefoot. Behind them, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a red-draped platform with a flower vase, flanked by two standing attendants in orange and white and by colourful striped parasols. Seated devotees in white sari and white kurta fill the right side, some with hands folded, and a standing man in white and an attendant in orange hold ceremonial items. A trident-topped staff stands beside the platform. Scattered petals cover the ground.
