A man in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe and a long white and red flower garland stands barefoot on a dark polished floor, head bowed, holding a small bunch of yellow and red flowers in his hands in an outdoor shrine.

Tiered trays of flowers sit at the right edge, and tall trees and wooden poles surround the courtyard.
