A man in saffron-orange robes with a red and white floral garland walks barefoot across a white cloth and black tarpaulin, past potted saplings and marigold strings. Around him people in white shirts and dhotis, a uniformed officer in a red cap, and a man with a rudraksha mala stand close. Orange and green trucks and tankers, a small water-supplier banner and triangular pennants stand behind. A framed portrait with garlands sits at the left edge, and a pink and white bag is held by one man.
