The cart is draped in orange cloth and heaped with white and yellow flower garlands, with kalasha-style offering pots and brass plates of fruit and offerings on its orange-covered table. A framed portrait on an easel shows a figure in orange robes with long hair. Men and women in white shirts and white dhotis, some with lanyards, crowd around; a bald man in white with a red-orange shawl stands at centre. A coconut palm and an orange-walled building are behind, with a red-and-white umbrella overhead.
