A man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands outdoors under a thatched-roof canopy, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and a long rudraksha mala. His hands are folded at his waist as he looks off to the side. Behind him are palm trees, colourful triangular bunting, a tall decorated pole, and carved black stone deity statues, including a cobra-hooded figure, set on a sandy ground. A ritual area with a rangoli-style border, cushions and a brass vessel lies at his feet.
