Smoke rises around him from a bed of grey ash on the ground, and a brass kalasha-style pot sits at the left edge. Behind him, a black deity murti stands on a white pedestal decorated with yellow and red flower garlands. Two men in white dhotis and yellow shawls sit further back, one at the right edge and one in the centre, with palm trees behind them.
