A man in a deep maroon robe with a gold-coloured necklace and a maroon turban stands centre, holding a silver trident and raising one hand in greeting. Around him, saffron-robed men and bare-chested devotees with shaved heads and white garlands stand on wet stone paving. Uniformed police officers in khaki and a masked officer stand at left, and men in grey and beige shirts with lanyards stand at right. A red and orange umbrella canopy is set up at left, and an orange and white flower garland hangs beside it. Trimmed plants and a bare tree appear at the right edge. The wet pavement suggests recent rain.
