A small figure sits at the tractor wheel. Around it, men in white dhotis and a man in an orange-saffron cloth carry decorated fans and umbrellas with orange and gold borders. Women in red and maroon salwar outfits with gold trim walk at left beside a man in a black t-shirt. Roughly six to twenty people are visible.
