Outdoor scene on a grey, overcast day beside a road with parked cars and vehicles. A red flag with a smiling portrait of a saffron-turbaned figure flies from a pole at top centre; the portrait is printed on the flag, not a physical person. A seated man in a red-orange turban and matching cloth, with a gold pendant and beads, sits on a stone platform by a tall stone pillar topped with a trident-shaped wooden frame. Around him stand several people: a woman in a red sari with a garland and a bag, a bald man in red-orange robes, a man in white dhoti with a gold border and a long garland, a man in white and a woman in red-orange sari with a garland and a plastic bottle. A multicoloured canopy umbrella and a decorated wooden ratha/chariot with a tiered roof stand nearby, alongside a covered cart.
