Outdoor festival scene with a large crowd behind a raised red-and-white platform. A figure in a rust-orange turban, orange robe, gold-beaded necklace and rudraksha-style garland holds two ropes and gestures upward, smiling. Beside them, a person in a bright orange-red robe with a yellow-and-orange marigold garland holds the ropes and wears a red cloth over the face area, while a brass lamp stand and a large gilded brass pot stand at the edges. Scaffolding and trees are visible in the background. The ropes suggest a pulling or lifting ritual at the site.
