A person in an orange sleeveless top and orange-red draped cloth bows low with forehead pressed against a carved grey stone ledge in a temple. The person has dark hair tied in a bun and wears a long gold bead necklace hanging forward. Behind the ledge are a carved stone pillar, a bed of colourful flowers in red, yellow, white and purple with palm leaves, and an orange curtain at the right edge. The person stands barefoot on a leopard-print mat. The pose suggests reverent prostration at a shrine.

The figure stands on a leopard-print mat before a stone plinth with floral carvings. Behind, several people in white dhotis and white ritual clothes, some with orange or red garments and shawls, stand with hands folded near a red-walled building.
