In the centre, a young man with dreadlocks and a leopard-print headband and bodice, wearing orange and red cloth and a rudraksha mala, holds a lit oil lamp in one hand and a small brass bell in the other. White ash markings are on his arms and face. To the right, a garlanded figure in yellow and red marigold garlands stands beside a standing cutout or statue wearing a saffron-orange garment and ornate necklaces. A woman in orange holds a tray of flowers at left, and a white flower garland hangs along the tree.
