A young man in orange saffron robes and a long rudraksha mala stands at the edge of a stone shrine or altar, raising one hand to his forehead in a gesture of salutation. Behind him hang orange curtains and a red-and-gold ceremonial seat draped in red cloth. On the left, a grey stone carved pillar and brass and silver ritual vessels, a kalasha-style pot and a tray with red flowers sit on the stone platform. In the foreground, wooden boxes hold rudraksha malas, sweets and a bottle of water. Orange-and-red painted walls frame the open courtyard. No other people are visible.
