Outdoor street scene in a residential lane beside a grey boundary wall with barbed wire and a small green tree. A smiling woman in a maroon sari with a red kumkum bindi and a garland of white flowers, red and yellow beads is at the centre, surrounded by men and women in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and sandalwood-paste markings on their foreheads. Several shaved-headed men in orange cloth stand close by. A devotee in white offers a long pink flower garland in the foreground, and a man in white with glasses bends toward the crowd. Some people carry a tray of flowers and offerings. Behind them a crowd of onlookers in white shirts and saffron and red garments watches, and a dark vehicle is parked at left.
