A man in front wears a white sleeveless vest and a pendant necklace, with a pointed mustache. Behind him a woman in a green and white salwar kameez and green dupatta, and another in a colourful patterned shawl, one pointing ahead. Several women hold open umbrellas in pink, orange and green. Behind them a golden ornate palanquin or ratha-style structure stands near a tent with a large printed banner. Many people wear turbans and headscarves.
