Outdoor ritual scene at an ashram grounds with a seated man in orange ochre robes and a dark rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, sitting cross-legged on a low wooden platform and raising one hand toward a small brass pot on a mat. Behind him, a large dark deity murti is garlanded with orange and yellow marigolds, set on a terracotta-coloured pedestal. Several grey stone sculptures stand in the background along with a red sign board, and a figure in white clothing is visible in the distance. Petals are scattered on the ground inside a circular decorated base. The man's appearance with long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala suggests a person, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
