Outdoor Makara Sankranti pongal cooking scene on a yellow-washed courtyard. Two terracotta pots sit on a brick hearth over a small wood fire, with a sugarcane stalk tripod framing the pots and palm leaf bundles lying nearby. A seated statue of a smiling figure in a maroon-red turban, orange and white flower garlands, and a rudraksha-style necklace sits on a golden pedestal in the left background, with its hands raised in blessing. Brass pooja vessels, a small bell and lamps lie on a wooden board near the hearth. Red boundary wall, palm and shrub foliage behind. A second person in blue sits far back at the wall edge. A rangoli-style chalk drawing with face motifs marks the ground at right. Statue is a depiction, not a physical person.

A photograph of a seated figure in maroon robes and a maroon turban, wearing a garland of orange and white flowers and holding a trident, with a raised hand, placed on a golden pedestal in an open courtyard. Two clay pots of boiling milk sit on brick stoves with lit wood fires in front of him, beside sugarcane stalks, green leaves, a brass lamp, a plate and a small steel cup. The figure is a statue or statue-like depiction rather than a living person, and the scene is consistent with a Makara Sankranti pongal cooking ritual. Red walls and a dark doorway are behind.
